means good luck really H why is that it's just how we say it it's an expression I had no idea another time the client said they had cold feet and you asked if they needed socks yes um I said get socks they were talking about being nervous not about their feet ah these words are strange I understand but these misunderstandings are causing issues with our clients I I I'll try to learn more about these Expressions that would be great Sarah but unfortunately some clients have become uncomfortable what can I do I'm sorry Sarah we love
