Good Luck With That!

Good Luck With That!

Good Luck With That!

(OP)
Ever worked on a project of any sort and heard the expression "Well, good luck with that?"
Ever wonder exactly what was really meant?
Yeah, good luck with that.

RE: Good Luck With That!

That is modern American slang for, "wow I wonder if you really know what you got yourself into" or alternatly "If you really think you can accomplish that you are crazy". It is like the old saying "you bit off more than you can chew".

RE: Good Luck With That!

There is: Good luck with that and Good luck with that

RE: Good Luck With That!

In my personal experience, "yeah, good luck with that" can be directly translated into "yeah, that's not going to happen".

RE: Good Luck With That!

"Good luck with that" requires translation:
= you don't have a chance to succeed
= you only THINK you will actually get those resources
= sure glad that I didn't get stuck with it
= HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa
= been nice working with you
and a whole lot more!
