Among certain groups, such as actors and skiers, it is traditionally considered unlucky to wish someone good luck, so they say "break a leg", i.e. wishing someone bad luck, in the belief that this will bring good luck.

Our web site did not post the link correctly. Add the bang sign at the end, and it will come up.
"idioms.thefreedictionary.com/Break+a+leg!"

Otherwise search the dictionary for "leg" under the "idioms" tab. That will bring up a lot of idioms using the word "leg."
