@dallasreds ROFL, I know, right!? When I first arrived in Germany it took some getting used to… :-P Along with so many aspects of the culture and language!!

The expression in Standard German is – “Ich drücke dir die Daumen.”

Literally, or transliterated, it means “I press (you) the thumbs.”

Translated, it’s something closer to “I’ll press my thumbs (for) you.”

So, just like the English expression, “I’ll cross my fingers FOR you.”

But, in Germany it carries an additional meaning: as well as “good luck” or “best wishes (re: that)” it can also mean “touch wood” or “knock on wood.”

Awesomeness :-D
