Subject: can i shorten up this function ?

hey there, i have a function that checks to see if a string is in a
comma separated list

it looks like this
def get_in_list(status)
        my_list = 'x,j,m,jrn,fnk,foo,other'
        my_list_array = my_list.split(',')
        if my_list_array.include?(status)
            return true
        else
           return false
        end
end

i dunno, just thought there might be a prettier way to do this.
any suggestions ?
thanks
