🇺🇸 English Expressions: Water Under the Bridge / Break a Leg
Hey everyone! 👋
Today I’ve got two useful English expressions for you. Let’s dive in! 🌊🎭
🌊 Water Under the Bridge
👉 Meaning:
Something that happened in the past and is no longer important or worth worrying about. You’ve moved on from it.
👉 Origin:
Think of water flowing under a bridge — once it’s gone, it’s gone. The idea is: past problems have “flowed away.”
👉 Examples:
• We argued last week, but it’s water under the bridge now.
• Don’t stress about that mistake — it’s water under the bridge.
• All that drama is water under the bridge for me.
🎭 Break a Leg
👉 Meaning:
A way to say “good luck”, especially before a performance, exam, interview, or big event.
👉 Origin:
Comes from theater superstition — instead of saying “good luck,” people said the opposite to avoid bad luck. Now it’s just a fun, standard phrase.
👉 Examples:
• Big exam tomorrow? Break a leg!
• You’ve got a concert tonight — break a leg! 🎸
• First job interview? Go in there and break a leg!
Now it’s your turn! 💬
