Break a Leg; the famous comedian Don Rickles does stuff like that: Roy Rogers would show up, and he would state "Hope your ranch blows up." As an action, cowboy movie star the Roy Rogers really would use explosives to make a movie, it is a blessing he gets a movie. When the famous governor Ronald Reagan was being roasted, Don Rickles told him "We are tired of you." Reagan was leaving the governor office for other things, at the next election. How you say it, sounds harsh, but blessed.
When people post vulgarity they are only showing how little respect they have for themselves. Just because you think you are anonymous doesn't stop the rest of us from thinking that whoever you are --- you are a pathetic asshole.
the expression "break a leg" actually comes from how it is bad luck to wish someone good luck in theatre. so if you wish them bad luck, such as breaking a leg, then it is good luck.
Have to tell you Marina, I like your videos so much I've been going through the older ones here on YouTube. Keep up the good work and don't let the haters drag you down to their base level.
I thought it was just an order a mob boss gave to his crew when a guy owed money or was just busting to many balls...which would result in getting their leg broken.
The thing with Shakespeare's Macbeth is something a bit different--it's a superstition by members of the cast that if one mentions the play's title during the rehearsal or production, something bad will happen to them. Apparently, plenty of actors who mentioned the title during performance have gotten hurt or killed via strange accidents.
It's kind of similar to the whole superstition with blue flowers too, how wearing it will bring you bad luck during performance.
You stage actor would tend be superstitious, the same way athletes and sports fans are superstitious, because luck plays a role. In the case of Macbeth, there was a certain belief that the play itself was unlucky and to perform it was courting disaster, and not mentioning the name of the play became a way of attempting to ward that off.
excuse me hot for words, i hate to disagree but I am a theater person myself and my own experience shows that it is bad luck to wish an actor good luck

I doubt those are correct. See, ancient Greeks for example believed that gods are jealous bastards, so idea is NOT to wish luck or it will not fulfil.
Russians use to wish fishermen NOT to catch anything, t could be same logic there.
I've read the other comments and those people need to look for a Girlfriend or something.

I have no Life :P
its 3:00 in the mornig and I'm watching video's on youtube and its friday night/ saturday morning. Well I'm going searching for a Live and I cant lie really but girl you make this Friday night a great night
I thought break a leg had a different meaning than those two. In the theater, they wanted to confuse evil spirits so they said the opposite of good luck. I'm confused!!
Hmm... a Hebrew expression that moved into German and found it's way into American English. If only there was a language that tied all of these together. Oh, if only there were such a language.... :)

why? becuase bored Americans can bitch about what they dont have and people from other countries can come over here, set up business'
that make us spend money ? I mean really, this girl would have become a stripper if it wasnt for the simple fact that she used her gifts and made a better life for herself and all we do is comment,I want your tits Im in love, blah blah blah,and I get a negative for the comment,? please people, lighten up. for democracy sake, take drugs and chill out!

i thought break a leg came from well far back before you even had curtains on stages. back in the days of shakesphere when actors were very superstitious that they believed that wishing good luck was bad so they wished bad luck instead. hence "break a leg" and noone was aloud to say"macbeth" instead you called it "the scotish play"
break a leg didnt come from eather of those...a long time ago actors thought it was bad luck to wish someone good luck before going on stage...but if you wish someone bad luck before going on stage it brings good luck...so they say brake a leg.
I don't remember where I got the notion, but I've always understood "break a leg" to be what an understudy says to the lead actor before the latter goes on, since such an event would give the understudy a shot on stage.
In the theaters of the mid to late 19th century, the folks that were pulling in draps and drops on the rail were sailors that were on shore leave. So the tradition of it bad to whistle the deck of a ship, translated into no whistling while on stage.
I heard you could easily be a language professor in america. you must be one of the most intelligent americans, knowing all those hard words and all that latin too! niiice
HOTFORWORDS you look the most beautiful ive ever seen you look in this video. plus i love your facial expressions just before your evil twin comes in!
Hmm, I had always heard that the origin of "break a leg" was just that for some reason, in the theatre, it's considered bad luck to actually say the phrase "good luck", so saying a negative phrase like "break a leg" actually has the opposite effect, bringing good luck.
Seems there's a few different theories as to where this phrase came from.
SteveJ2008, you are correct actors are superstitious. The actual "break a leg" part instead of say "have bad luck" or "I hope you fall down and break your nose" came from what I said in the video.
O.O i think im blind or somethin, there are no 50 cents coins (i think), sorry bout that, but at least theres a mexican peso (or it lookes like one). ^_^! i thought there were cus the mexican 50 cents coins are kinda golden, and two of those coins u put there actually look like them, but i guess not. BTW U ROCK!!!
Hello, it is good that u put a mexican peso and 50 cent coins when u say "hotforwords decided to investigate..." at the end of that little introduction.
As I have said once already on this video, I would 'love' to know the origin of the word "LOVE". I think the actual origin could possibly be something even more.
I still say you should look into the word "shiv" a knife made in prison, out of something that wouldn't ordinarily be a knife. One "shanks" with one's "shiv".
I like contemporary words, and I know this one goes back to the fifties, 'cause I just read it in a book written in the fifties. I wanna know how old it really is and where it comes from.
You recently did some videos for St. Valentines Day, which were great and all of that, but, Not once has anyone ever actually described the word 'LOVE'. When I was a child I had asked many adults what does Love mean? And I always got the same answer, "it's when you find someone you want to spend the rest of your life with". I honestly would 'love' to know the meaning and origin of the word "LOVE". Thank you, Ciao

As a friend of mine once said I beg to differ:
Dr Freud would have somewhat of a different view,

Something like the phase: "don't bust a nut", meaning don't work to hard you slacker.
