What is the meaning of ‘pencil in’?
When we write with a pencil, we know it is something that can be erased; it is not permanent. If you ‘pencil in’ an appointment for someone, you are making a temporary appointment for that individual. It is not definite; the appointment can be changed to a later date.
*The dentist said he would pencil me in for next Thursday.
