lucky rabbit foot

Gambler's pocket amulet

A lucky rabbit foot is a charm believed to bring good fortune, traditionally the hind foot of a rabbit carried as a talisman.

The superstition has roots in various folk beliefs about rabbits' fertility and speed.

Now often sold as novelty items or keychains: She rubbed her lucky rabbit foot before the exam.

The phrase sometimes appears figuratively for any good-luck token.
