(1). See ping.
Also, a musing: “This one makes no sense. In baseball, two runners can’t occupy the same base. And the infielder is on the other team. So who are we touching base with?”

Touch Base
RANDOM LINGO
Teambuilding
(1). To organize annoying social events for your employees thinking they just need to spend even more time together to start getting along.
“Okay, guys…I think with the disappointing comp numbers and recent defections, we could use a little teambuilding around here. So…we’re going bowling!”
Diplomatically-Challenged Conversation
(1). An awkward, and ultimately heated, exchange where someone inevitably says something wildly inappropriate, often ending the conversation with a call to HR.
“Yeah, so … let’s just say it was a diplomatically-challenged conversation from start to finish. I don’t think Mike is going to be going on any more client calls anytime soon.”
