Does her dress have pockets? Because where in the world is she keeping her audacity?

"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."

Keep Trying Guy

When a man messes up and is dragged through the dirt, fired from his job, and ostracized by his friend group because his moral failing publicly humiliated his coworkers/buddies, tarnished their reputations, and resulted in a lack of brand alignment.

Friend #1: "Did you hear about that YouTube guy that tries stuff? He cheated on his wife and was fired by his friends, the other 'try dudes', who called his actions and inappropriate behavior a 'betrayal'."

Friend #2: "Well, if he's looking to make a comeback, he could just create his own YouTube channel and call it the 'Keep Trying Guy'. He can talk about his issues and what he's learned from his mistakes. Who knows, maybe people will stop villainizing him for being human..."
Friend #1: "Huh... The dude was a hypocrite, though. He cheated on his wife after calling himself the 'wife guy' of the group and building his brand around that..."
Friend #2: "Well, all men have their moments... Their 'Keep Trying Guy' moments..."
