I used to hate "To be sure, ...." but I've found I've used that myself.
In undergrad an instructor would use that phrase when lecturing and it grated on my ears. I've since found, however, it's convenient and understand why it's a verbal and writing crutch.

That wouldn't capture the broader meaning of reaching out though. When I say reach out I typically mean to 'either call, write or talk as long as you get input in any way'. So I just say 'reach out'. I think reaching out is the better phrase in certain scenarios.

R42, R11 here. In the context you're describing, you're right that "reach out" makes good, logical sense.
What irritates me is, for example, if I email someone, and he refers to my email as reaching out. As in, "So glad you reached out to me." No, you pretentious shit, I did not reach out. I emailed you.
But what you're describing is logical and fine.

I think some are a bit overly sensitive about certain phrases because they are used in situations in which the poster doesn't feel comfortable. Case in point is the corporate speech. I find most of the corporate phrases I read upthread quite usable and precise for certain scenarios. But I can see why some people feels excluded when they read or hear it. I guess in a way corporate speech is just another slang that works well in its confined settings but is otherwise useless or even counterproductive.

R89, that's a modern version of an old phrase. It used to be "I hope this letter finds you well." The purpose was and is to provide a brief, polite opening before getting right to business. It's useful in situations when you're writing to someone you haven't spoken to in a long time but don't know well enough to start with something more informal or personal. It's an empty pleasantry, but then so is "how are you?" These are the little niceties that make communication warmer and friendlier.

" In the interest of time let's move on "
You really want to say "shut the hell up try taking your ADD meds later in the day"
A more direct and professional response would be

Doesn’t particularly fit in this thread, but on a play date with my 4.5 year old great-nephew yesterday he kept using his father’s weed blower on me. Later, in the presence of his mother, my niece, he kept whispering something to me, while sporting a big smile. When I finally understood what he was saying - that he “blew me” - I cautioned him that that could be misinterpreted.

Not a phrase, but I've noticed so many young people overusing the word, "honestly." They use it irrespective of its meaning, almost as a filler, in the same way they say "literally."
Examples:
Honestly, that dog is so cute!
That song is honestly so awesome!
He was honestly my best friend for years.

It was because when we sold tickets on the phone we gave customers what the computer said was next available. However you could override that and choose seating if it was a seated event.

Another time someone rang back the day after the event to thank for me getting them front seats to a concert.

R377, right, and when used to mean “similar to what happened to Ingrid Bergman in the movie Gaslight”, it’s a useful addition to the English idiom. Unfortunately, it has become frau-speak and social media-speak and therapist-speak for plain old lying, which is stupid and pointless and should be stamped out.
Wife says to cheating husband: “You’re cheating on me.”
He says: “I am not, and you’re a bitch for accusing me.” That is not gaslighting.
He says: “No, dear, no. You’re imagining things. Again. Have you stopped taking your meds? I’m going to call Dr Freud tomorrow; you need to talk to him. I’m terribly worried about you, darling. These fantasies and illusions with no basis in fact have to stop. You’re headed for another breakdown.” THAT is gaslighting.

Something my husband does that I hate: he uses the diminutive form of any actor whose name can be diminutized (made up word?)
Thus Robert DeNiro is referred to as “Bobby DeNiro”; Nicholas Cage he calls “Nick Cage” and “Samuel L. Jackson” becomes “Sam”.
I’ve repressed most of names of the dear, dear friends we’ve never met but I know all “Roberts” are in danger - Bob Redford, Bob Downey, Jr and Bob’s your uncle.
Gilbert Gottfried was “Gil Gottfried”. I think part of the reason Gottfried died was because he found out some stranger was being a douche with his name.
My husband is a pretty brilliant guy who manages design for the audio video section of a media company that’s been around for 100 years. His group has won three technical Oscars and a few technical Emmys. You see the name of his company about 85% of the time when you go to a movie theatre.
We’re film nerdy enough to name our first daughter Raimi after Sam Raimi.
But the number of A or B listed actors, animators, cinematographers we’ve ever actually met, much less befriended, is zero.

Pia Zadora, tiny trophy wife to decrepit billionaire Meshulam Riklis, stars- breaking all records for “Worst Actress Ever in the History of the World.”
“The Lonely Lady” also featured actors Jason Klassi and Shane Rimmer. I think those names were the actors’ version of “Alan Smithee”.

“Yeah yeah yeah”. In every sentence.

Along with “nah nah” which means “no” and “nah nah nah nah nah” which means “absolutely not”.

Phrases that exclude “that”, OP.

Gave you a thumbs up, r567 although in some circs, such as a short title, the absence of “that” usually doesn’t detract from clarity. I knew what OP meant.
But thrashing my way through long sentences with dependent classes, and zero commas, just to find out one of those clauses should have been introduced with “that”, so I have to go back and read the whole fucking thing over to figure out what the moron was saying., does not make me a merry reader.

I dislike most of the corporate speak: "circle back," "reach out," "team," "touch base," etc. But I've made peace with all of it.

Any time someone starts saying "The definition of insanity is..." I have to fight everything in me not to interrupt them or walk away.
At this point the definition of insanity is repeating that same tired expression expecting anything other than an exasperated side-eye.

"boots on the ground"
"hit the ground running"
Meghan Markle ruined both of those phrases for me permanently. She said both phrases constantly and then lasted five seconds and bailed.

I know what “touch base” means, but not what imagery it’s supposed to inspire.
I always imagined the base of a swimming pool… like, let’s get on solid footing in the shallower end. Let’s stop paddling around and touch the base of the pool with our feet.
(I realize this doesn’t make total sense!)

At first, I thought: "Baseball." But I think base just means your home or your house, the place you should always go back to.

Touch base is thought to have originated in the sport of baseball, where both runner and fielders have to "touch base" in order to be safe or record an out.

r581 Not OP but "On God! The man was high off his ass trying to drink mercury out of a thermometer." - Typically used as an abbreviation of "I swear on God"
Rate is apparently some new slang the kids are using to mean they really like or do not like something or someone. "I rate Beyonce's new album, but I don't rate Sir Davis Liquor"
It must be the new thing to create slang by just not completing a common expression or sentence.

I’ve heard that before - but I don’t get how the meaning transfers to how we use the phrase. “I’m just checking in with you… to score a run” doesn’t really balance out.

R580, perhaps in this case "base" originally meant headquarters or home base, meaning you would both quickly meet "back at the base" to catch up.

"In my opinion"
My 1st Boss on Wall Street Harvey (wonderful Boss-he had to put up with me& other hotshots who claimed to know it all).
Every staff meeting we had; Harvey would start off by "the only opinion that matters is mine opinions are like assholes everybody has 1". Between 1985-1995, I must have started every work conversation I had with my boss& senior staff that way a billion times.

To R96, I hate the whole pronoun bullshit, never used them& never will. I got called out on it many times by several senior co-workers. However, I outranked them all.
My boss has told me several times "The client list you control, you do what you want".

23 and me is so inacurate once you get down into the 5% or less range, it's basically a guess. They even admit that, not just in those exact words. For example, almost everyone I know who took that test is suddenly 1% Ashkenaz Jew. So am I now Jewish adjacent even though I am mostly Native American and Italian?

Ancestry (3 times) and 23 and me (2 times) plus my older brother (Charles) from the same mother took the same tests.
We both have African ancestry 2.93% (Kenyan, Sudanese& Ethiopian). Chuck and I had 2 different DNA dads.
