We Reached Out

[10ClarionSt]

This is now the term used by anyone who is trying to contact a person or an organisation. They didn't ask. They didn't enquire. They "reached out" didn't they? What if their reach isn't long enough? What's with this "we reached out" gubbins? What's that all about? Can somebody reach out with a response please? 😄☺😊

Drives me crazy. I read a book recently where people were reaching out on nearly every page.

Another Americanism.  They're mauling the mother tongue.

that's years old 10cs. It's been part of the compendium of management rowlocks for at least 20 years!

Hate it.  A drowning person reaches out, a child reaches out, a lover reaches out.  I will not reach out to the stranger answering the phone when I call my energy supplier.

Have you synergised with the elephant in the room yet 10cs?

[Mozz71]

Enquire (I'll Be There) doesn't have the same ring to it.

That's some impressive blue sky thinking there Tora.

[ToraToraTora]

Glad you spotted that mozz I was about to take it to the next level.!

[Tilly2]

I'm a thicko. Please explain to me what it is that you are referring to.

[ToraToraTora]

The question is about management rowlocks Tilly, we are using phrases that they use.
