Still, it's great. One time, I was visiting Ape Caves at Mt St Helens with my sons when we ran into a British couple on vacation. We got to talking and answered lots of questions for them. We knew the area fairly well because of previous visits. Well, long story short, we got around to light sources. We said flashlight and they said torch. Learned a new term that day.

So what do you say if you're unlucky - "lucked in"?

So:
"lucked out" = lucky,
"out of luck" = unlucky

OK. That makes sense...
