What is the instance it’s being used pretentiously ? I feel a TIL moment coming up

I think it's an American thing - I've had it used twice this week by Americans scheduling times for online meetings. Synonym would be out of office/unavailable.
Context was, "I'm out of pocket next week at a conference so can't meet then."
These people were both middle managers at huge tech companies. Neither of them was a quarterback.
