touch wood :-- with luck (from the superstition that certain trees,usually the ash and oak,could giveprotection against evil)
It is usually uttered while knocking the knuckle of the index finger on any object close by.
Source(s): The Penguin Concise English Dictionary gives the meaning and the latter part is on my own. - Anonymous1 decade ago
not necessary...but few people are superstitious...and if anything bad happens if they dont touch wood then all sorts of worst things they'll think....so it all depends on a person's thinking
