Cross Fingers
Two opposite meanings:
= 1) If you hold the crossed fingers for others to see, then you’re wishing for good luck
= 2) If you hide the crossed fingers then you are telling a lie on purpose.
Ex: I sent my application for the job. My “fingers are crossed.” I hope I get the job.
Ex: The match is so close. I hope our team wins. “Fingers crossed.”
Ex: Sure, I’ll save you a slice of pizza. (*while hiding crossed fingers)
= lie
Ex: If I have a party, I will definitely invite you. (*while hiding crossed fingers) = lie
