No.
Does it means "too broke"?

Of course. It's what your insurance expects you to pay.

I know the phrase as paying in full up front, usually cash.

Or maybe the musical sense, as I'm a drummer, but that usually has the definitive "the pocket".

The example reads as out of your league/knowledge/capability, so likely not the same idiom.

It essentially means what you have to pay for yourself.

Some Insurance for example will cover, say, 80% of a expanse. But the rest you're have to cover your own. Or out of pocket.

I always thought the slang meaning came from the idea of a QB being "out of the pocket" (outside of your safe zone, etc.) but maybe that isn't right.

UK here. Out of pocket means you are paying for something you probably shouldn't be.

"Hey man thanks for the taxi I can't afford to pay my half"

"oh great so I'm the one that's going to be out of pocket".

OED has it down as "Meaning of out-of-pocket in English. used about money that you have to spend yourself rather than having it paid for you, for example by your employer or insurance company"

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/out-of-pocket

Yes, I still hear it used from time to time. It's usually used when someone said it did something that went too fast/crossed a line.

I was thinking it was a billiards/pool term, but your idea makes sense too.

They still get mad at websight even though that's been the accepted terminology for years. CE is just out of touch on everything.

Being out of pocket means being out of line means you're being crazy.

The term has always meant that.

That's the thing with Tiktok slang though. A lot of what's considered new to Gen Z is just old AAVE from Gen X or millennials.

I was born and raised in LA and "out of pocket" has been used to mean "crazy" or "out of line" for decades. I don't hear it as much anymore, but I've never heard anyone use it to mean that they're out of the office. There's even an urban dictionary entry from 2005:

Depends on who's saying it and in what context. It could mean someone's out of line or behaving badly or that they don't have enough money etc.
