If you talk about your plans or hopes, you need to immediately spit over your left shoulder.

In the past, people believed two angels lived behind a person; a white angel lived behind the person’s right shoulder; a black angel was behind his left shoulder. People thought spitting would keep the black angel from getting angry, and then he would not destroy their plans.
