Out-of-Pocket

[Baker, John]

        I'm surprised that DARE won't note the evidence of the term's use (together, less frequently, with its counterpart, "in-pocket") in the northeastern financial community.

        The archives include a number of messages discussing "out-of-pocket" in all three senses.
