Break a leg

A theatrical way to say "good luck" without actually saying "good luck," because it’s considered bad luck to wish someone good luck in show business. Instead, you wish them to "break a leg" so the opposite (success) will happen. Used not just in theater anymore, but for performances, interviews, and other high-stakes situations.

"Hey, your audition’s in 10 minutes—break a leg out there!"

Nothing to write home about

Used to describe something that's average, unimpressive, or just plain boring. If it’s "nothing to write home about," it’s not worth getting excited over—like a bland meal, a forgettable movie, or a mediocre date.

"I tried that new burger place downtown… honestly, it was nothing to write home about."
