It's a French Expression

MALPT

A French acronym used to wish good luck.   Abbreviation for the phrase "Merde A La Puissance Treize!," which literally translates to "Shit to the thirteenth power."  I must admit that the concept is difficult for Anglophones, but who said language should make sense?

  2. That is VERY interesting. I'm sure there is an equally interesting story behind it, which would be great to learn...
