Holden Caulfield's repetitive use of the phrase "good luck" can be attributed to his feelings of alienation and cynicism towards society. By saying it frequently, he may be expressing a sense of hopelessness or resigning others (or himself) to a fate governed by luck rather than genuine care or effort.
Holden is not quite sure, but says that it sounded like "Good Luck!" which he (Holden) hopes it wasn't, as he thinks it "sounds terrible, if you think about it".
Holden Caulfield reacts to Mr. Spencer's wishing him good luck with a mix of cynicism and inner turmoil. He feels a sense of disconnect, interpreting the gesture as somewhat insincere and emblematic of the adult world's phoniness that he often criticizes. While he recognizes the good intentions behind Spencer's words, Holden is also burdened by his own feelings of isolation and confusion about his future. This reaction underscores his deep-seated struggles with relationships and his growing alienation.
Saying fighting is like saying good luck,

The Latin equivalent of the English word 'luck' is fortuna. In fact, a Latin way of saying 'good luck' is 'fortuna secunda'. A Latin way of saying 'bad luck' is 'adversa fortuna'.

No it isn't.

Don't order them through Holden. I suggest Autovaux.co.uk -- they charge up to 25% of what Holden wants. I have ordered thru them twice and they have been great. Forums are very helpful with Calibras; www.calibraclub.org www.calibraclub.com www.calibraclub.net Good luck !
Literally, this phase means "may good luck be with you". So it is probably akin to saying "Good luck".
We don't have a saying that is exactly like that but we have something like "Onnea ja menestystä" (literally "good luck and prosperity")
