Can you think of any more four-part phrasal verbs?

Come in out of the rain.

Let's *%$** off out of here!

I wouldn't say either are four-part phrasal verbs
I would parse both sentences as phrasal verb (come in/piss off) + adverbial.

I don't suppose for a moment that these are really phrasal verbs. I'm sure that if such things existed, somebody would have noticed.

But imagine what fear you could strike into students by mentioning them!
