постучать по дереву (An expression of hope that something one desires will come to pass or turn out to be true. A truncated version of the phrase "keep your fingers crossed." I studied for that exam for two weeks, so I hope I get a good grade on it. Fingers crossed! Fingers crossed my packages get delivered in time for Christmas!  thefreedictionary.com Alexander Demidov); скрещенные пальцы (1. 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 ... 1) fingers crossed for your driving test! 2) "It": Tagged you! Taggee: No, you can't, cos my i've got my fingers crossed. Ma: How could you lie to me, Johnny!? Johnny: It wasn't really a lie, ma; I had my fingers crossed behind my back. Cop: You're under arrest, Sonny Jim. Boy: You can't arrest me, cos I had my fingers crossed when I burgled all those houses... 3) Mafioso: Me and the Don; we're like *that* Other guy: (gulp)...

Honeybees coming this week, fingers crossed 🤞🏻 🐝 (Twitter) • There are tons of these homeless encampments (both active and abandoned) throughout the forested areas around Burnaby. The City of Burnaby and Metro Vancouver knows this, but has no interest in cleaning them up. Fingers crossed that none of them go up in flames, which could lead to some precarious situations involving residential and commercial developments in the municipality. burnabynow.com ART Vancouver) |
