"Out of pocket"

The spousal unit just informed me that she will be "out of pocket" this afternoon. Huh? She said, "Look it up."

So, I did a little research on the phrase and how it relates to being inaccessible and discovered that nobody really knows how that phrase transmogrified from meaning that expenses were covered with personal funds instead of using an expense account into meaning that one is inaccessible by phone, e-mail or text.

However, I did discover in the Urban Dictionary that the phrase can also mean that someone is behaving badly. The example given was:

To be out of control; way off base. Usually deserving of a good slapping or a full-blown ass- kicking. "Tamika had 7 shots of Hennessy last night and tried to get on my man. She was way out of pocket so I smacked the belligerent ho."

Therefore, should I find any of you using the phrase "out of pocket" with me when you really mean that you will be incommunicado for a given period of time, I am likely to consider you "out of pocket" in the urban sense and slap you upside the head.

We. As in, "we need to... " and you know that we is meaning you. Irritates me to no end.

I had a boss that always said that. One particular day, I was irritable and she decided to pull the we crap.

Boss: we need to change out a slide on this certain machine.
Me: we?
Boss: yes, why?
Me: are you telling me your going to get off your fat ass, leave your air conditioned office, throw on a safety harness, climb on top of this greasy machine where it's at least 130 degrees, and help me change out a slide?
Boss: well no....
Me: THEN WHY THE **** ARE YOU SAYING WE?!?
Boss: ummm... (as I walked out)

Yeah, I had to apologize, but she never said we again.
