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