Annoying words and phrasesMarketing bollocks, buzzword bingo, or your mum saying "fudge" when she really wants to swear like a trooper. Let's ride the hockey stick curve of this top hat product, solutioneers.
Thanks to simbosan for the idea

SorryI'm a lady too, though. In the bank where I worked the women who said that used it in place of anything more assertive. "Reaching out" seems so gentle and harmless and, well, passive- like they were either trying to put on a facade of kindness or be somehow "non-threatening". It just got to me, how transparently false they were being. The men didn't use that phrase so much (though in that bank, there weren't many men with whom I had to interact).
And thanks for the song. It made things much better.
