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.
