Words Overheard in a Business Meeting

Circle Back. Verb. Intransitive.

• "Let's circle back to that point."
• "We should circle back again..."

• "Let's circle back before we circle back to..."

It was fitting. We were just circling around in the meeting, moving nowhere at a crawl.

Hint to people who are chronic circling backers: STOP IT! NOW!
