          And finally




          you can have a pin on your visa card to get a cash advance and AVIS is a car rental company- Thanks to SteveV

          I believe it's a:




          Briefcase?




          As is you need me on your trips




          You need them to store your belongings on your trips.




          Left alone you use me on your trips




          It's always in use, keeping your stuff together.




          Rearranged some use me on their trips




          Not all people are organised, but some tend to organize their briefcases.




          Short and thin




          Quite arguably so.




          I carry a pin




          Briefcases tend to have a 3 digit PIN.




          And as to "I may be small but my maker is big and powerful":




          Briefcases are manufactured in big factories by big brands.

            Maybe a more general one: ROT13(NGZ pneq), and rearrange one can be ROT13(ZNG).

          I believe it's a:




          Briefcase?




          As is you need me on your trips




          You need them to store your belongings on your trips.




          Left alone you use me on your trips




          It's always in use, keeping your stuff together.




          Rearranged some use me on their trips




          Not all people are organised, but some tend to organize their briefcases.




          Short and thin




          Quite arguably so.




          I carry a pin




          Briefcases tend to have a 3 digit PIN.




          And as to "I may be small but my maker is big and powerful":




          Briefcases are manufactured in big factories by big brands.

          .everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0; } 17 1 Today, I found myself discussing what students should have "under their belts" during a lecture, and I wondered to myself if there was some inappropriate undertone here that I might be unaware of. Question : What is the origin of the phrase "under your belt"? A google search revealed some webpages (e.g. [1]) that assert its origin is related to consumption of food -- once a meal has been eaten, it's under your belt (which is a relief).
