good luck
Wished-for favorable circumstances
Good luck is a wish for someone's success or fortune, typically said before an endeavor: Good luck on your interview!
It can be sincere encouragement or, with the right tone, skeptical dismissal—suggesting the task is hopeless: You want to change his mind? Good luck with that.
As a noun phrase, good luck is favorable fortune: We had good luck with the weather.
