SayLUK-ing/ˈlʌkɪŋ/
- 1Present participle and gerund of luck.
The team has been lucking into easy matchups all season.
Lucking into a last-minute upgrade made the whole flight feel like a gift.
Note
A participle that almost never stands alone: it wants a preposition after it (into, on, onto or upon), and what follows is the thing found by good fortune. The verb is intransitive, so it takes no direct object. You luck into a bargain, but you never luck a bargain. Its register is informal, which suits conversation and casual writing better than a formal report.
