"We were able to dialog through that."

[CTyankee]

A state official on having the discussion about allowing high school football in the state.

Whatever happened to "having that discussion with...." ?

Has anyone heard this one?

1. That hurts.

2. No, but I'd bet the state official picked it up from someone on the high school side of the "dialog"

It's got 'admin-speak' written all over it.

3. Do you think they believe it will make them seem smarter (or more willing to have a "dialog"?).

That's all I could think of.

4. I hear "had a dialog" more often

We talked is better to me. Chatted if some texting tool. All words get verbed eventually. Most probably don’t stick.

5. Gawd. Why do they slice and dice language that way?

Sounds like they had a "convo" when they "touched base."
