means you are driving a car for a long time
Gotcha, thanks. I guess it makes sense.

That's actually my grandfather name.People calling their grandfather PopPop. It is like nails on a chalkboard for me.
One that has become popular at the office is "out of pocket" to mean "unavailable." For instance, "I'll be out of pocket after noon tomorrow, so I'll need you to handle the weekly conference call with the client."
I know what they mean, but I can't figure out how the phrase "out of pocket" conveys that.
Huh, I don't know if I have heard that one for that purpose. I always thought out of pocket meant you have to pay for it yourself (not covered by insurance for example.)

Whatever. Complete with eye roll. Usually hear it from my teenage daughter. That's the current phrase that is driving me nuts.
