| Phrase | lucky me |
| Text | In this podcast, the phrase "lucky me" is used sarcastically, meaning that one does not feel fortunate in a particular situation and would prefer not to be in the current situation: "The dishwasher broke so I have to wash the dishes by hand. Lucky me." The phrase "to be (someone's) lucky day" means that it will be a good day for someone and that good things will happen to him or her that day: "Wow, I just found a $5 bill in my pocket! It must be my lucky day!" The phrase "to thank (one's) lucky stars" means that someone was very fortunate and avoided a dangerous, difficult, or uncomfortable situation: "You should thank your lucky stars you weren't in the office yesterday, because the boss was in a horrible mood." |
