okay all my friends always say knock on wood or i guess im going to have to knock on wood. and i never know quite what they mean. so could someone tell me what it means??
thanks (link)
The expression is actually relatively new, historicaly speaking, according to this english historian at http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-tou1.htm

You don't really have to knock on wood just because your friends say to. The tree fairies / tree gnomes aren't going to get angry for your lack of knocking, rest assured.
