Many groups for various reasons choose to celebrate alternatives to Columbus Day including Indigenous Peoples Day, while Columbus day is still celebrated in San Francisco where the 2nd oldest celebration is held dating back to 1869

Where does the phrase "break a leg" come from? Join or Log In to answer.

true meaning of "break a leg" is the wish for many curtain calls. When you bow or curtsy, you are supposed to put one foot behind the other and bend at the knee, "breaking" the leg.

-modcom (41Q / 7653A) Wed Oct 8, 2008 3:32pm

Cool, thanks!

-ghostly (10Q / 489A) Wed Oct 8, 2008 3:33pm

also in theater it is bad luck to wish someone 'good luck' - so people wish for the opposite instead. break a leg = good

This video goes into further detail. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azzD7JxyBtA (starts around the 42 second mark.

-ElToRo15 (167Q / 617A) Wed Oct 8, 2008 4:41pm

“ The expression most likely came from the Hebrew expression ‘Hatzlakha u-brakha’ which means ‘success and blessing’. The Germans borrowed that expression, putting German words that sounded similar and they ended up

-ElToRo15 (167Q / 617A) Wed Oct 8, 2008 4:51pm

with ‘hals und beinbruch' , which means ‘Neck and Leg Break’. So when the Germans came to the United States, around 1930, they translated that expression into English, which ended up being ‘Break a Leg’.

Through The Starbucks Foundation, Ethos Water supports humanitarian water programs in Africa, Asia and Latin America

-modcom (41Q / 7653A) Mon Sep 22, 2008 2:15pm

Yes it does, and it's also quite expensive bottled water at about $1.80 a bottle.
