"Reach out"
When said in a business context fills me with a very troubling amount of rage- specifically, "I just wanted to reach out to you..." "I think you should reach out to Karen in marketing..." "They said you wanted to reach out to me..."
It's always said with a sticky false-sweetness, esp. by females and/or arsey managers attempting to sound considerate/approachable, without actually having to *be* considerate/approachable. I even caught myself using it last week; I died a little inside.
