fingers crossed
an action performed:
1) for luck.
2) to exclude oneself from the rules which would normally apply.
3) to imply that "we're like *that*", ie as close to each other as two crossed fingers
Can be represented by the emoticon (yn); apparently this pictorially resembles crossed fingers ...
