Thanks, Diggs. I looked up "brass in pocket" on urbandictionary.com, which led to quite a few close hits on "brass" and "pocket". "Brass" may also mean bad, a prostitute, having no money, to shoot, to have courage, or to just express displeasure. I had no idea "brass" was so versitile. Oh...and you don't want to know what a "clown pocket" is.
