Break a leg: meaning and use in English
What do you remember about this?
Show explanation
Say break a leg to wish a performer success before a performance, audition, or similar event: 'Break a leg in your audition tomorrow!' It is a friendly idiom, not a warning or a wish that someone gets hurt. Use good luck when the person or setting may not understand the idiom.
Before the concert, Nia's brother said, 'Break a leg on stage tonight!'
