"Sh*t out of" a couple of different ways. First, "Sh*t out of luck." Notice "out of"  

becomes "outta". Sh*t out of luck. This means what you want to happen,  

there's just no way it can happen. You look  into every possibility and and it's just not  

going to work out. For example, last weekend, last  minute, I decided to visit my friend, I needed to  

rent a car. And I tried Zipcar, I tried all the  car rental places in my neighborhood. I even  

tried some new app I never heard of before  but nothing was available, I was sh*t out  

of luck. We also use it with the verb "beat" and  "scared". If something scares the sh*t out of you,  

It's just really, really scary. Let's say I don't  think my husband is home, I walk in, it's late  

at night, it turns out he's there, huh! I see  him and for a second I don't realize it's him,  

I'm like "David, you scared the sh*t out of me." Now I hope you're never in a fight because I hope  

no one ever beats the sh*t out of you. That means  they really got you good, it wasn't just a little minor  

scuffle, hfff, they beat the sh*t out of you. Note: Sh*t out of luck can get shortened to SOL,  

if someone wants to use this phrase  but not cuss. Sorry, you're SOL.
