It's my lucky day!

Today, one of my conversation classes had the topic of casinos, and I thought it would be appropriate to talk about luck. These are some common expressions for luck.

#1) Your luck is rubbing off on me.
Explanation: If you are around someone who is lucky and, like them, you start to experience good luck.

#2) It's my lucky day!
Explanation: Some days it seems like only good things are happening to you. Use this expression on these days.

#3) Better luck next time.
Explanation: You failed in this attempt, but next time could be better.

#4) Wish me luck.
Explanation: I'm doing something that requires luck, so please give me your support.

#5) good luck charm - This is any item that brings you good luck, such as: a piece of your baby blanket, a lucky coin, a rabbit's foot, a four-leaf clover, etc.

#6) "to be lucky" vs. "to get lucky"
Be careful with these expressions. Of course, "to be lucky" is the state of having luck.
However, "to get lucky" is commonly used for convincing someone to have sex with you.

For example:
"I'm going to the horse track today, and I think I'll be lucky." means that you expect to win money at the race track.

"I'm going to the horse track today, and I think I'll get lucky." means that you expect to have sex at the race track.

This is a small difference, but it can be very significant, for both you and the horse.

Good luck, everyone!
