Lucked in or Lucked out?

Im having a bit of a debate with a friend of mine....so handing it over to my fellow forumites to settle!

Hypothetically, you're in a bar with a friend. A sexy member of whatever sex you're attracted to looks over and winks suggestively. Your mate nudges you with their elbow and says...

"your lucks in mate"

or

"your lucks out mate"

which is the correct expression?!!

Although I'd say 'your luck's in', I've also heard the expression 'he lucked out'.

Yes it has to be "in", just as you would say "Your luck is in"

"You're out of luck" is the total opposite

I've heard that too, meaning that the person has got lucky but while the title of the post is "lucked in" or "lucked out", the message in the post doesn't appear to be asking us exactly to choose between the two verbs.

IN. if he lucked out, to me that means he stuffed it up and wrecked his chances.

Your luck's in. But you've lucked out. It depends if you're using it as a noun or a verb.

ok...I say 'he's lucked in' to mean he's got lucky (a good thing!), and 'he's lucked out' to mean the opposite.

My friend is absolutely stubbornly insistant that its 'he's lucked out' to mean he's got lucky (its a good thing), and has never heard of 'lucked in' before I said it.

I've always lived in the south, and he's from Yorkshire and then Manchester...and claims everyone says the same as him.

Is this a weird North/South thing??

I've never ever heard "He's lucked in" either in the North or South

" I've never ever heard "He's lucked in" either in the North or South "

so just to clarify (there are big stakes here!)...if you saw a mate getting chatted up and all looks to be going well, you wouldnt say turn to another mate and say 'he's lucked in there!' ??

His luck is in.

"Lucked in" would be past tense, as would lucked out.

THe past tense would be "His luck was in" or "His luck was out"

wow...who knew such a daft thing could screw with my mind so much!

Using a different scenario....

Say I have amazing next door neighbours. Id say 'yeah we've lucked in with our neighbours'. Meaning we've got lucky that we've got amazing neighbours. If we had really awful neighbours, id say 'yeah we've lucked out with our neighbours', meaning we're unlucky that we've got such awful neighbours.

My friend, if he had amazing neighbours would say 'yeah we've lucked out with our neighbours', meaning he's got lucky.

We've been arguing this back and forth for so long now that the words Luck and Lucked now seem completely nonsensical and made up! Does anyone else get that? you say/hear/read a word so many times in a short amount of time, that the word starts to sound not real? Anyway...we've drawn up a truce pending further investigation and research lol

"He's lucked in" is made up.

"He's lucked out" is not

Yep. So it transpires!

In conclusion...I seem to be about the only person to say 'Hes Lucked In'. No idea where that came from!

But it appears some people say 'Hes lucked out' to mean a good thing, and others say 'Hes lucked out' to mean a bad thing.
