Re: Sayings you hate

[(Anonymous)]

what does that even mean

Re: Sayings you hate

[fingalsanteater]

It means you'll be unavailable or busy, used in an office context.

Re: Sayings you hate

[(Anonymous)]

do they not know what "out of pocket" actually means?

or do they know but are they trying to make meaning something totally different a thing?

Re: Sayings you hate

[fingalsanteater]

I have no idea. That's the only way I've ever heard it.

Re: Sayings you hate

DA To me, it's always meant either broke, or a cost that you have to bear yourself. Used on the (Australian) news too.

Yes, I've heard the second in the US as well, now that I think about it. "Having to pay out of pocket," meaning using cash instead of credit. But, I don't hear it often.

I'm not sure how the "unavailable" meaning came about, but I've only heard it in an office setting, so it might just be a peculiar colloquialism specific to my type of work?

Re: Sayings you hate

Since when? I've always heard it and used it to mean being financially worse off. "I sold these for less than I paid, and now I'm out of pocket"

Re: Sayings you hate

[(Anonymous)]

Over the last half year or so, a bunch of people have apparently managed to make the alt meaning A Thing.

Re: Sayings you hate

[fingalsanteater]

I've never head it that way in the US, but I have heard having to pay out of pocket, which means with cash or without using credit.

It's the only way I've ever heard it used in the US.

Re: Sayings you hate

[(Anonymous)]

I've only heard it used to mean paying for things that aren't covered by insurance or won't be reimbursed or that you didn't get an advance to cover, not the method of payment (and that's in the US).

Re: Sayings you hate

[caerbannog]

I thought it meant like out of money/funds...

Re: Sayings you hate

[(Anonymous)]

I always thought it meant picking up/buying something that you have to pay for upfront, with context supplying if you were eventually going to be reimbursed.
