in-out

Desk tray labels

In-out describes movement or action involving entering and exiting, or alternating between inside and outside positions: the in-out motion of breathing, an in-out burger run.

It can characterize something quick or perfunctory: It was an in-out job—fifteen minutes tops.

In British slang, the in-out refers to sexual intercourse.
