The word "check" also means a financial instrument, and "the check is in
the mail" means "I've already sent my payment, stop bothering me, you'll
get it shortly.", often used when the check is actually =not= in the mail.
My slavic cousin was going to visit me from overseas and I went to the
airport but he wasn't on the plane. When I called his wife, she told me
that airfare was too expensive so they used the postal service. "The
Czeck is in the mail".
