Idiom of the Day
"Break a leg"
If someone is going to act in a theatre play, climb a mountain or do an exam, you can say "good luck" to them...or you can say "break a leg". Why?
It is not certain exactly where this phrase came from, but it is thought that it is simply superstition. It was thought to be bad luck to wish someone "good luck", so the opposite was also true. If you wished someone bad luck ("break a leg") then it actually meant you were wishing them good luck.
So, when you're all taking your exams, don't say "good luck" to your friends - tell them to break a leg!
