I found some philosophical definitions:

Thin luck is simply the inverse correlate of responsibility.
Thick luck, by contrast, is not simply the inverse correlate of responsibility.

You can pursue these further at http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/justice-bad-luck/ .

I don't suppose you meant tough luck!, which means too bad! ?

I also thought you might have meant TOUGH LUCK.

I've not heard the other version.
