The new word, I have learned from my new office is "fingers crossed".
They used it all the time. When the computer doesn't work, Mike tries to run some programm to fix it and and “finger crossed”.
Can someone explain, what exactlly it means?

not "finger crossed", its "fingers crossed" :) 一个手指不能cross...
这个是希望好运的意思。
To cross one's fingers is a hand gesture used to superstitiously wish for good luck or to nullify a promise.
这边通常都是指前者 - wish for good luck
