“going forward”
phrase used, especially in business, to mean “in the future”

In the future? NO.

Going forward is something a car does.

“From now on” is what the little hammerheads are trying to say, but Stupidity reigns Supreme with the bulk of the population.

.

“Reach out.”
Oh hell, just gag me please.

“reaching out” is something people do with their hands.

If someone wishes to communicate with someone else they contact them, call them,
meet with them, converse with them.

“Reaching out” sounds like something fags would say.

Probably where it came from...

HaHa! I agree with you on your “reach out” comments. I’ve been puzzled by the use of this for several years now. I hear it ALL THE TIME and I want to say: CALL me, don’t reach out to me. Please.

I drive for a living. After hearing my dispatcher mention on several occasions, that he was going to ‘reach out’ to a customer (meaning telephone a customer), I asked how long he would be, as we do need someone in the dispatch office.

He was not amused, but refrained from using that horrid phrase.
