Meaning of Brass in Pocket
[edit]The article is a diffuse and vague on this phrase. Hynde's explanation is pretty complex. My understanding it's simply slang for "Ass in Pocket" as in, you are positive you will be having sex with someone, sure thing. The article says:
- during an after-show dinner, she overheard someone enquiring if anyone had "Picked up dry cleaning? Any brass in pocket?"
To polite society overhearing, they are talking about dry cleaning. To the kids who know, it's inquiring about a hookup. Its youth culture sexual revolution stuff. -- GreenC 03:27, 16 November 2024 (UTC)
- "Brass" is UK slang for an impudent attitude. In the dry cleaning context it probably meant "money". Chrissie Hynde was living in England when she wrote the song (by the way, it's spelled "arse" there, and doesn't necessarily have the exact same meaning as in the U.S.).
