Phrase of the day: “Making the rounds”

This phrase is used to

describe a rumour or some news being circulated widely so it becomes well known.

The origin of this phrase had supposedly started with William Olser, a famous physician. He worked in a circular shaped hospital and would literally go around the building to see his patients.

Here’s an example:

Pete 🗣 “Did you see the news about the prime minister?”

Dave 🗣 “Oh yea saw it earlier, it’s making the rounds on social media”
