I’m tired of the corporateeze phrase “reach out [to]...”

Where did that come from? “If you have any questions, please reach out to me...” “We reached out to him for comment...”

Maybe it came from the old Ma Bell “reach out and touch someone” ad campaign.

Thank you. Final straw was the service company “reaching out to tell me that my tire was repaired”. Modern lingo is just stupid IMO. Quit with the change.

It was used by all the Clintonistas during the Vince Foster “suicide” investigation as an excuse for all the fishy phone calls between white house staff on the night he died. They were “reaching out” to each other.

Sounds like Mob talk or maybe lawyer's? I reached out to him and made an offer he couldn't refuse...
