Good question, since a literal translation wouldn't make sense at all (especially to those unfamiliar with this theatrical saying). - Findy, Aug 1, 2013

I just read that whole thread, Noetol ~ really interesting, since I come from a theatrical family. I've been saying "Break a leg" to people since I was 5." - Findy, Aug 1, 2013
I thought it was interesting how the expression developed. Something new every day! :-) - Noetol, Aug 1, 2013
