So before a race, before a job interview, before a test, instead of saying “Good luck!”
25、I might say “Break a leg!”“It cost an arm and a leg.”And this basically means something was really expensive.If I say, “My bag cost an arm and a leg,” I mean it cost a lot of money.“To call it a day.”And this means “to end a task”So, for example, “Im feeling a bit tired.I think Ill call it a day.”Th
