1.
The process men go through every morning to check their pockets for
everything they need for the day (wallet,
cell phone, keys, etc.).
2. The act of frantically patting oneself down in order to locate a missing crucial item which should be in one's pockets (ticket stubs, receipts, keys, etc.).
Person 1: So when I finally got the check I
discovered that I didn't even have my wallet!
Person 2: Why didn't you do a self-frisk this morning to make sure you had it?
Person A: Your
ticket stub, sir?
Person B: *self-frisks* I have two
quarters here...and my receipt from lunch...and here it is. *hands over*
