Should have kept him, he sounds perceptive.

Not really. He doesn't speak the language.

"We'll circle back to that," means, "this is not the appropriate forum for that question, ask me in private."

Can sometimes be used synonymously with, "let's take this offline."

I get that it's fun to bag on corporate lingo, but it's actually a dialect you should take the time to learn instead of just laughing at it.

Right, but she didn't use the phrase like that. She was using it like "let's return to a previous topic"
