Hi - It's In Bocca al Lupo not "el" lupo. It IS an Italian phrase that literally means "into the wolf's mouth" but is an expression of good luck. Instead of saying "Break a leg" to wish someone good luck when starting an endeavor, an Italian would use this expression.

I should add as was stated in the Italian posting, the reply to in bocca al lupo isn't "grazie" (thank you) but "crepi il lupo" or just "crepi) (the wolf dies).
