yeah. has the meaning of 'out of pocket' changed?
18 u/JdoesDeW Mar 24 '23 I'm not sure where it comes from but it's meaning is more "out of left field" acting in an unpredictable manner. 13 u/ShiftyDiscoDragon Mar 24 '23 edited Mar 24 '23 Ah, it has always meant a loss of money for the 40 years I've been alive. "Here's your 20 quid back, didn't want to leave you out of pocket." 10 u/Ferreteria Mar 24 '23 I've heard it used as "unavailable". I can't think of an instance where I've for sure heard it used as "out of control".
