A term that should never be used. It is used 99% of the time by D.C. Bureaucrats. Not just any bureaucrat, but sycophant whore climbers. Mostly used by no talent grade 14's in Headquarters with polished shoes who are clamoring to move up.
D.C. Bureaucrat- "Hey Steve, I'm going to be out of pocket for the next 20 minutes."
Non Climbing Bureaucrat- "Great, enjoy your dump, remember to wipe yourself."

'out of place; out of order', describes unacceptable behavior or situations. This meaning has its roots in Black English of the 1940s, and refers to the pockets on a pool table.

Young hip (primarily black) people use this to mean "out of line," or behaving in a way that is unacceptable under the circumstances.
Old business people use this to mean unreachable by the usual means.
If you are both a hip black person and a business person, colleagues' use of this term in the latter context can be both ambiguous and amusing.
1) You ate the last hot wing off my plate? Yo, you out of pocket, son.
2) Sorry I'm just responding now, I was out of pocket all day yesterday.
