Knock on wood is to prevent yourself from being jinxed...for example. If I were playing a game with my friend and I hadn't lost yet, and I said something like "hahaha, you haven't beat me once!", you'd knock on wood to prevent your statement from jinxing yourself.

say your favorite hockey team is rocking and it looks like they're going to win, but there's still 7 minutes left in 3rd period. You say, "the avs are well on their way to taking their division with this win (knock on wood)." See, if you didn't knock on wood, you would have jinxed the team and they would've lost.

Why people say "I could care less" to mean I don't care. Anything that is important to me I COULD care less about, are people just to lazy and the expression dropped the "n't" I never understood.
