Putting it in the pocket

Share definition
When a thought, idea, saying, or social happening occurs in your presence that you like, you can "Put it in your pocket," i.e. save it for later use. Customarily this expression is accompanied by a corresponding hand gesture of grabbing the occurence in question out of the air and putting it in your pocket (a shirt-breast pocket is preferred, though any pocket will do).
Jer: That's pretty beastly.
Neil: Beastly? That fucking awesome. I'm putting it in the pocket.
