What does the phrase touch basis mean?

The phrase "touch base" is a colloquialism meaning to make contact with someone or something, often briefly, to check in or update them.

It's often used in professional settings, but it can also be used in personal contexts.

Here are some examples:

* "I'll touch base with you tomorrow to see how the project is going."

* "I'll touch base with the team next week to discuss the new strategy."

* "I'll touch base with my parents to see if they're coming to the party."

The phrase likely originated from baseball, where "touching base" refers to a runner safely reaching a base on the field. In a metaphorical sense, it means establishing contact or reaching a point of agreement.
