I seem to remember some movie or TV show where it was "jack in", sort of plugging yourself into a system. Not sure about the opposite version though.

- dredmorbius 13y agoThat's straight out of Neuromancer. The opposite is a Russian surname.
- sp332 13y agoOr Andromeda, where you had to physically stick a jack in your head if you wanted to do any serious work with a computer. http://andromeda.wikia.com/wiki/Dataport http://andromeda.wikia.com/wiki/Dataport And the opposite of "jack in" is "jack out" :p
- saalweachter 13y agoHmm, there are indeed two pairs, in/out and on/off. I wonder how consistent everyone is about using the correct antonym, and how often you end up with in/off or on/out.
- mjcohen 13y ago"out" is not the opposite of "in": Are you in line? No, I am out line!
- saalweachter 12y ago"in"/{"out", "out of"}?
- cooper12 13y agoProbably not what you're thinking of, but in the animated children's show Megaman, people would jack in using their online companions into a cyberworld.
- pbhjpbhj 13y agoI thought you might mean Existenz but a quick check reveals them using "port in" .. Ah, hang on "I jacked you in to my pod and you obviously panicked" (about 30 mins in when the lead male character gets a 'bioport' fitted and the lead female attempts to connect her 'pod' to it). Was that it?
