Sometimes people say stuff about Pinkie ´Breaking the 4rth wall´, and I don´t know what that means. Any help?

The 4th wall is a theatre concept. The stage has a back wall and two sides (the wings). The 4th wall is between the audience and the performers, and keeps them apart. Breaking the 4th wall is when characters either interact directly with the audience or show awareness of the fact they are fictional. A good example comes from the play 'One Man, Two Guv'nors', where one character asks another why he always seems to speak to his right-in the direction of the audience.
