Pend out

work out.

I've never heard of pend out. Is that really used anywhere?

I think I misheard but it's supposed to be pan out.

Let's see how our schedules pan out.

Oh! Yes. You can use pan out for work out. It's more casual, but it has the same basic meaning.

I don't know...

I think the expression comes from panning for gold in a stream. If no gold is found, we say the location didn't pan out.

Nonsense. It's pend out. It's slang. Pend as in pending. If I schedule a follow up for something a week hence, I am going to "pend it out." Or "let's pend this meeting out a week".

Calling a moderator's perfectly reasonable reply "nonsense" is neither kind nor helpful, Anonymous.
"Pan out" and "work out" are certainly legitimate expressions that work in the context given. I've never heard or read "pend out" either, although I don't deny that it might be in use somewhere. Can you cite any sources documenting its use? It's not in Urban Dictionary, which is pretty good f

Are you perhaps thinking of "pending further action"?
