Same. Also hate when character says “touch and go” in pieces before airplanes

Why? Touch and go is a maritime term recorded back in the 16th century, for the keel touching the seabed briefly without running aground.

It's recorded use in the 16th century I don't believe had anything to do with maritime use though. The one I'm aware of was literally someone writing that they will "touch on one topic briefly then move onto other topics"
