| Dec 12, 2014 at 23:28 | comment | added | Barmar | I think using about to mean around may be more common in BrE than AmE. In America, this usage is rarely heard outside idioms like out and about. | |
| Dec 12, 2014 at 18:05 | comment | added | Jim | Although, it is possible and an equally valid grammatical statement, if the speaker was a personified agenda or list of topics and was telling others that it is literally not about the current week and unrelatedly that it works in Romania. | |

| Dec 12, 2014 at 10:52 | comment | added | user101868 | So when you say you're not about it means basically that you're not around? | |
