In and Out Revisited
posted by Woodsy
"You're so in, and I'm so out!"Dear Woodsy,For years I have been perplexed by what he meant. Was he being crude? Or, was he being dismissive? Maybe he saying I was cool and he was passé.
When you're in, we're out.
See 'ya around,

What do you think he meant?

My guess is that he was saying something like: "When you are more popular with other people, I feel less close to you" but that is likely to be entirely wrong, since I know nothing of the person or situation.
he's a male so it didn't mean anything.
*sigh*
us women are always looking for meaning where there is none :-)
Woodsy, clearly this brawny fellow is not only a fool, but seriously seriously challenged on all kinds of levels--- but I'm going to have to refer you to this well-known resource.
Probably Nursemyra is right, but if she's not I think you should take it as a compliment because it sounds like he's implying that you were marching to your own drummer and not following the cookie-cutter "trendy" kids. And now that marching to your own drummer is, indeed "in", tall brawny guy and his ilk are living in the suburbs, driving SUVs and getting laid off at Nortel -- which means they're SO out. If nothing else, he was prophetic.
He was being crude. Definitely.
Milan, I agree that it does sound like he might have been saying that, but since I was the biggest book nerd in that school, I doubt it. I was only popular with the librarians.
Nursemyra, he was a jock... so I think you might be on to something.
Aggie, so you're saying he was so OUT because he wasn't IN to me?!?
Lili, Yup, he was a wanker who thought he was clever.
