[edit] Deep pocket

Delete, possibily transwiki-ing first. Wikipedia is not a slang dictionary. —Miles←☎ 03:21, Apr 30, 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep and expand. It's a common term, if not a classic in law and economics. Martg76 08:29, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment: I wasn't really aware that "deep pocket" was a bona fide legal term, and didn't see any possibility for expansion at the time. I'm fine with the revised version staying in Wikipedia. I'd like to point out, though, that "deep pocket" is not a portmanteau ;-) —Miles←☎ 03:21, May 2, 2005 (UTC)
    • 'portmanteau' used, in this instance, in its mundane, not its wiki meaning : a word-or-phrase used solo to import a suitcase of reference or implication. To a lawyer, talk of 'deep pockets' is going to include the perjorative aspects of inequity and oppression when one party can afford resources totally out of the reach of the other. --Simon Cursitor 07:31, 3 May 2005 (UTC) [FYI]
