Word of the Day: Hash out
Aren’t you glad you read this blog daily?
I ask you because everyone around you hash out their problems every day, and you never knew they were doing it.
Sure, you thought they were having regular, everyday discussions, and I can’t blame you for that.
You had never heard of the term hash out before, let alone know what it meant.
Well, that’s why I’m here.
Read this post daily, and I’ll expose you to many things you didn’t know.
Think about it as a buffet for your mind; I add something new to the menu every day.
So, anyways, hash out means agreeing with someone after discussing a problem, issue or question with them.
People always hash things out over coffee, in meeting rooms, and even on the phone.
The process of hashing things out can be long and complicated or short and sweet.
When it comes to international negotiations, such as trade agreements with the US, well, let’s say there will be many late nights and early mornings.
The only ones who have more trouble agreeing are the Brits over Brexit.
That has turned into a dumpster fire of the worst kind.
I’ll not get into that here.
You can check the newspapers for that.
If you’re trying to decide where to purchase your first home with your better half, it won’t be long, but it may be just as tricky.
Then again, it needn’t be that way.
My wife and I decided to purchase our house five minutes into the first viewing.
The price was right, the location was just what we wanted, and it was pristine.
There was nothing to hash out except the amount of the initial deposit.
