We reached out to the woman who ran from the police multiple times Monday. The story was brought to our attention when she reached out to us Friday. She spoke with us before the video was released, but since then we have not been able to reach her.

When did the phrase "reach out" arrive? When will it leave?

Talking with a gal on the phone this week and she used that phrase at least five times. Told her I don’t want her or anyone with their organization “reaching out” to me and that I thought it was the stupidest phrase I had ever heard. Seems to be in most every business advertisement you hear any more.

So glad that someone else doesn’t like it.

Around the time McCain kept talking about reaching across the aisle, reaching out to the other side. I hate it, too. Like “went missing.”
