The In Crowd

While doing my homework last night, one of the best distractors was coming up with this awesomely cool list of phrases that have the prepositional component "in the..." but have nothing to do with actually being in a physical location. Here's what I came up with:

- in the know
- in the dark
- in the closet
- in the lead
- in the moment
- in the spotlight
- in the nude
- in the eleventh hour
- in the flesh
- in the red
- in the hole
- in the heat of the night

Do I know how to avoid required reading or what?

- In the money
- In the spirit
- In the game

Well there's in-the-red's happier opposite
- in the black,
and don't forget the ever popular
- in the zone.

In the loop. (When you start talking about something,no one else has knowledge about. LOL)
In the dog house. (Where a bad boyfriend has to be)
In the clouds. (Where my mind always is)
In the midst. (of a messy room, also me)
In the boondocks.
(Where all my friends & fam now live. Far Chicago burbs)
