Break a leg
Meaning
Said to actors as a good luck token before going on stage.
Origin
Apparently wishing for something bad to happen is thought to be an insurance against it really happening. Another explanation is that 'breaking a leg' refers to bending at the knee in the act of bowing or curtseying when being applauded after a good performance. A further, rather fanciful, explanation suggests that it is an injunction to emulate the great Sarah Bernhardt, who had only one leg.

Leg
A leg is the part of an animal's body that supports the rest of the animal above the ground between the ankle and the hip and is used for locomotion. The end of the leg furthest from the animal's body is often either modified or attached to another structure that is modified to disperse the animal's weight on the ground (see foot). In bipedal vertebrate animals, the two lower limbs are usually referred to as the 'legs' and the two upper limbs as the 'arms' or 'wings' as the case may be.
