Heard 'touch grass' used in a real meeting and had to look it up

I was on a Zoom call with a marketing team last Thursday and one guy told another to 'go touch grass' after a wild idea. I found out on Urban Dictionary it's not just a gamer thing anymore, it's spreading to work talk for telling someone to get real. The fact it jumped from Twitch chats to a corporate meeting blew my mind. Anyone else seeing this term pop up outside of gaming?

Yeah @the_adam, it's just slang going corporate now.

Wait, they actually said that IN the meeting? On the record? That's the wild part to me. I figured it was something people thought but never said out loud in a professional setting. The fact someone had the guts to say it to a coworker's face on Zoom is just... wow. Corporate culture is moving way faster than I thought.
