(redirected from back around to, loop)

loop back around (to something or some place)

1. To return to some place in or as if in a circular path. A: "I'm going to stay here and see if I can find a new yoga mat." B: "OK, I want to go look at kitchen stuff, so I'll do that and then loop back around in a bit." A: "Shoot, I forgot my phone." B: "No problem, I'll just loop back around to the house."

2. To revisit or return to an idea or topic of conversation. A: "Wait, is that all that's new with mandatory overtime?" B: "I'll loop back around to that in a bit—let me just cover the changes to the sick time policy first." I like that idea, Frank. Let's put a pin in it for now and loop back around again at the end of the meeting.
