You say "fingers crossed" when you hope or wish for something.
For example: "I think I'm pregnant! Fingers crossed."
If you want to, you can actually cross your index fingers and middle fingers when you say it. According to old Christian beliefs, it brings good luck and wards off evil spirits or witches.
