This phrase is used here quite a lot ,mostly as a funny jab towards the Indian crowd. What I find funny here is that I've heard this phrase only in the Bay area. @Indians, am I an exception or is this really common Ps. Born, brought up and worked in India for quite some time.
Have heard it in the Midwest and east coast
I hear ārevert backā and it annoys me so much. Revert means like reverting a git commit or something not āreplyā. š”
Itās commonly used. I feel itās a great phrase. People nowadays love to take a jab at anything. Bunch of egoistic fools pretending like they are direct descendants of Shakespeare.
āDo the needful originated in India, is commonly used in African countries, and was once heard frequently in the United Kingdom as well. After the Victorian period, its usage in the West died out, but with the increase in outsourcing to and from India, it started catching the ear of English speakers in the West again.ā
I for the life of me have never heard anyone use that phrase. Am in Austin
Have heard it in KC
I've heard this phrase from colleagues in India. I like to think someone was forced to train their replacement abroad and taught them some interesting phrases but who knows.
Heard in Seattle as well
