Though I lived in Italy for about 10 years, I cannot remember how to spell the 'moda di dire' for 'good luck' (and I am not asking for Buona fortuana) - it is literally translated as 'in the mouth of the wolf' (something like that)- do you write it like this? Nella bocca del lupo?? or did I make a big goof :-) thanks..

I know I will get translation sites (like the second answer here), but this is a 'moda di dire' and if you do not know the Italian language and all you see is 'translation' then these sites will NOT work. I may be mistaking the actually English saying, and any one who speaks Italian fluently will know exactly what I am asking. Thank you.

"In bocca al lupo!" and then you answer " crepi il lupo" (something likes "the wolf cracks")

"in bocca al lupo" is the word!
BUt you can also say " In culo alla balena" and the answer is "speriamo che non caghi"!!
This one is funny!!!
