Out without can? (3,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

not in

'out' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'without can?' is the wordplay.
'without' becomes 'no'.
'can?' becomes 'tin' (both are metal containers).
'no'+'tin'='NOT IN'

(Other definitions for not in that I've seen before include "Out or away, house empty" , "ie Out" .)
