Lose one's ass

Do so bad that you lose even what's impossible to lose, your ass.

In the Old West people used to bet their ass (donkey) in gambling and lose it, so that’s where this saying started.

We lost our ass on that game.

If this presentation doesn't go well I'll lose my ass!

To lose one's ass is to lose all.
