strange term used by my nmom
Discounted Girl:
I think the meaning of this slang phrase might be cultural. In the American workplace when you are told that someone is "out of pocket" or will be "out of pocket" it means they are or will be unavailable, not handy (as in your pocket), usually for a defined amount of time. I have never heard it used in reference to money, but when I looked it up at dictionary.com, there are some definitions that relate to money. Now I have heard the expression "is that a pickle in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?" but I think that refers to something else also :shock:
