"Pencil me in" = ghi lại cho tôi -> nghĩa là sắp xếp cuộc hẹn, ghi chú lại sự kiện (có thể thay đổi vì bút chì dễ xóa). Cụm từ xuất hiện cuối những năm 1900.
Ví dụ
"I'll send my man by for the hardware," I say on my way out. “And pencil me in for a shape-up tomorrow at 4.” Arsenal or not, Sam gives the best cuts in The Stuy.
It seemed like she'd been too busy lately to pencil me in, even for a “hallway status”— her clever catchphrase (khẩu hiệu) for casual chatting. Why must there be a catchphrase for everything?
"Next week I'm at wrestling camp. How about the following week?" She checks her calendar again. “I can do that," she says, and pencils me in. She gathers her briefcase (cặp tài liệu) and keys and rises to walk me back to the outer office.
“If those are potential wedding dates,” Duncan said over my shoulder, “I'm available, and I know for a fact that Miceli happens to be busy, so why don't you pencil me in?” I closed my little notebook and dropped it back in my shoulder bag.
