crapped out

Died on you

Crapped out means failed or stopped working, usually unexpectedly: The engine crapped out on the highway, My phone crapped out right before the interview.

From craps, the dice game, where crapping out means rolling a losing combination.

The phrase suggests sudden, often inconvenient failure rather than gradual decline.
