In a PM exchange, I asked a member of this board not to do something. She responded by saying, "well sjm, you lucked out - I didn't do it" This usage caught me by surprise, since I would use "lucked out" to mean the exact opposite, that I was out of luck, and that the undesired had in fact happened. Is my understanding of this phrase simply a personal aberration, an upworlder thang, or what? Does "to luck out" actually mean "to get lucky" (insert honey soy disclaimer here)?
