"Break a leg" is a common idiom used in the performing arts to wish performers good luck in a way that is thought to ward off bad luck. The phrase is believed to have originated from the superstition that saying "good luck" directly could bring misfortune. Instead, by wishing someone to "break a leg," you are providing encouragement while avoiding jinxing their performance. It is often used in theater but has expanded to other fields as well.
