January 30, 2013 Urban Word of the Day
Young hip (primarily black) people use this to mean "out of line," or behaving in a way that is unacceptable under the circumstances. Old business people use this to mean unreachable by the usual means. If you are both a hip black person and a business person, colleagues' use of this term in the latter context can be both ambiguous and amusing. 1) You ate the last hot wing off my plate? Yo, you out of pocket, son.
2) Sorry I'm just responding now, I was out of pocket all day yesterday. |

Paid from personal funds. Somehow over the past half year or so, "out of pocket" has become a new business catchphrase meaning "unreachable, out of communication", which is incorrect. My doctor's office refuses to bill insurance companies any more, so I was out of pocket for the entire payment until I did all of the paperwork myself for reimbursement
