I hear it more in-person recently, but also online. What does “out-of-pocket” mean when describing behavior? I’ve only ever heard it used to describe financial circumstances until a couple years ago.
It seems like it’s roughly synonymous with “crazy” or “rude” or “unexpected”, but I’d love to have it explained better.
“out of pocket” is what you pay, but may not be the total cost of the item/service. “I only had to pay $50 out of pocket and my insurance covered the rest”
It can also be used in business to mean unavailable. “I have to take my kid to the doctor and will be out of pocket for a couple of hours”

Same here the only out of pocket I have ever heard is either when your broke or having to pay for something.
