Break a leg

The idiom "break a leg" is commonly used to wish someone good luck, especially in the performing arts, such as before a stage performance or a theatrical production. The phrase is believed to have originated in the theater world, where it was considered bad luck to wish someone "good luck" before a performance. Instead, actors and performers would say "break a leg" as a way of wishing each other success. The phrase is now used more generally to wish someone good luck or success in any endeavor, not just in the performing arts.
The exact origin of the idiom is unclear, but there are several theories about its origin. One theory suggests that it may have originated in the theater world, where it was considered bad luck to wish someone "good luck" before a performance. Instead, performers would say "break a leg" as a way of expressing the opposite sentiment, hoping that the performer would have to take multiple bows at the end of the show, "breaking" the line of their leg as they did so.

breaking the bottle

An idiom I invented based on the phrasal verb "bottle up" which means to hide emotions or feelings inside.

Breaking the bottle basically means you're letting those emotions or feelings loose, accidentally or not.

Also the idiom equivalent of "venting" to someone.
I'm sorry for breaking the bottle randomly out of nowhere, I just couldn't take it anymore.
