The exact origin of the phrase is unclear, but it's believed to have originated in the 19th century. In those times, people believed that knocking on a coffin lid would prevent the spirit of the deceased from being disturbed. Over time, the phrase evolved to become a way of wishing someone good luck, especially in situations where they needed protection from harm or bad fortune.

There are several variations of the phrase, including:

: Roguelike deck-builder with node-based map traversal.
