Around the same time that people started saying "so" before answering a question. So I can't answer you with a specific date.

Going forward, I think you should reach out and touch base with them to find out why.
It is important to circle back afterwards so that we're all on the same page, but I think you should hold the pen on that.
I'm gonna to need you to run point on that so you can continue to bring value.
Reach out and touch base, 🎵Dow Dow da Dow Dow dow🎵
When someone at work mentions that they want to touch base later, I'm drawn to thinking about this urban dictionary definition:
