Reader's question: Could you explain "rain check"? My comments: Rain check is a promise or commitment by a seller to a buyer that an item currently out of stock can be purchased at a later date for today's sale price. The term originated from baseball; spectators at games that were postponed because of rain would receive a check that could be used to attend a future game. But now it is used more commonly, to refer to meet at another time, as in a date or a meeting. It can also mean to postpone something. Example: Let's go to lunch. I can't today. Can I get a rain check on that?
