Famous lyrics by »

A jinx (also jynx), in popular superstition and folklore, is a curse or the attribute of attracting bad or negative luck. The word "jynx" meaning the bird wryneck and sometimes a charm or spell has been in use in English since the seventeenth century. The modern spelling and connotations developed late in the nineteenth century. In the 21st-century press, the suggestion a ship might be "jinxed" was made in connection with two cruise liners after misfortunes, MS Queen Victoria and the Emerald Princess. In the 20th century, the Australian aircraft carrier HMAS Melbourne was sometimes said to be jinxed, having twice struck a friendly ship, with considerable loss of life on both occasions. Calling attention to good fortune – e.g. noting that a certain athlete is having a streak of particularly good fortune – is sometimes said to "jinx" it. Conversely, calling attention to possible bad fortune is sometime said to jinx those it might affect. Jinx is also a children's game played when two people say the same thing at the same time.
