"We were able to dialog through that."

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

Has anyone heard this one?

No, but I'd bet the state official picked it up from someone on the high school side of the "dialog" Gidney N Cloyd Sep 2020 #2

Do you think they believe it will make them seem smarter (or more willing to have a "dialog"?). CTyankee Sep 2020 #3

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