a lucky charm is a talisman to ward off evil spirits. In the medieval times, a talisman was a container on a chain, and a person would put the heart of their dead enemy in it, so that the ghost of the enemy could not attack them. It has transformed into horseshoes, four-leaf clovers, and rabbit-feet from there.

To attract good luck and to ward off evil. This could be a reflection of the wearing of amulets and talismans during ancient times.

Well if something good happened to me while i was wearing a pair of ridiculous pants and then happened again while i was wearing the same pants, i'd wear them and call them 'lucky', because I might belive that something good happens every time i wear them. I would wear them clean ever time. I hope we're clear on that.....

I don't wear them often, when I do I get chased by this weird little leprechaun and also there's the fact that they tend to be crunchy and crumbly and when you sit down the little marshmallows go right up your *beeeeep!*.

Because they're magically delicious. They can get pretty sticky though, when the frosting starts melting.

For a false sense of security.
