Take potluck 碰运气
    2018-04-02  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

    

    A: Did somebody recommend the hotel to you?

    

    B: No, we just took potluck. It was the first hotel in the brochure. I like to just take potluck when I travel to new cities and try out whatever local establishments I happen upon.

    

    Note: This idiom means to “select blindly from the available options in the hopes of achieving a fortunate or beneficial end result.” If you take potluck, you make a choice from what is available although you do not have any knowledge to help you. The original idea behind the expression is of someone invited to an ordinary everyday family meal which will consist of whatever happens to be in the cooking pot that day.
