We recall hearing the phrase before, not heard it a lot though .... thought it meant something like exhausted, like if you spend all day cleaning the house you might feel bottomed out

sheils6

I would say that is right. It is often used when discussing the stock market.

Kamaya

Yup, I've heard of it, but in more of a past tense, e.g. "has the housing market bottomed out?". So I guess it would be to "Bottom out".

polly5

They use the expression in Lancs for giving a room a really good clean

jemma277

Used in yorkshire for same meaning as Polly5 but would also mean to reach lowest point.

Blulu

Hi, I'm confident that it's right. It's like reaching rock bottom, i.e. nowhere to go but up. Thanks loads for posting the answers.
