==Origin==
''Toi toi toi'' was an idiom used to ward off a [[spell (paranormal)|spell]] or [[Curse|hex]], often accompanied by [[knocking on wood]] or spitting. The origin is a threefold warning of the devil (Teufel, pr. toi-fell) in German dialect:
''No’ kommt mer in’s Teu-Teu-Teufelskuchen bey ihm. '''Now we come into the De-De-Devil's Kitchen!'''''
