QUOTE(n00b @ Aug 11 2006, 10:11 PM)  i didn't ever understand "break a leg" that isn't really a "phrase" it's an idiom, but i never understood it Because it's bad luck to say good luck, so you tell them to break their leg because that would be bad so somehow, they do good ... Yeah. I never understood the "You're the apple of my eye either", but I think it's explained in the movie/book or wherever it came from. What's old english from ?
