A la rue

(une) rue = a street
être à la rue = to be completely lost, to have no idea what's going on

E.g. il est complètement à la rue = the guy has no idea what's going on

Hi there,

I'm French (well from Québec) and I've never heard this expression in that context. To me it has always meant "I'm out of an apartment" or "I'm homeless". Google doesn't give me any pointers either...

So can you please tell me where you found that expression, apart from your "personal experience"? :)
