"Does her dress have pockets? Because where in the world is she keeping her audacity?" is a 2021 colloquialism that expresses astonishment in response to an action perceived as rude, intrusive, or tactless. It is often shortened to "Can you believe the pockets on them?" or, simply, "the pockets."
"My mother-in-law just left a voicemail that she's on her way to stay with us for the next month..."
"Does her dress have pockets? Because where in the world is she keeping her audacity?"

"The new hire just interrupted the CEO during a meeting. Can you believe the pockets on that guy?"

"Deborah came right up to me at the bake sale and complimented my snickerdoodles even though I know for a fact that she told Trisha that she thinks my snickerdoodles taste like chlamydia. The absolute POCKETS on this bitch."
