~~FYI~~
break a leg is a well-known idiom in theater which means good luck.
It is typically said to actors and musicians before they go on stage to perform.
Situation: Connor is an actor on a stage play for the first time and his
brother Lauren is
with him backstage waiting for Connor to go up on stage in a
minute.
Lauren: Hey Connor! Are you okay? You seem to be sweaty and
shaky. You’re nervous aren’t you?
Connor: Yes. This will
be my very first time to act onstage and I am really nervous!
I feel like I
want to go home already.
Lauren: Don’t worry you’re a very good actor and I
believe in you. Now go break a leg and
make me proud!
Connor:
Okay, wish me luck!
[Just so you know…]
※ Nowadays, the idiomatic expression “break a
leg” is not only used for actors and musicians but also to every
person or
group who is about to do something.
