[edit]touch grass (third-person singular simple present touches grass, present participle touching grass, simple past and past participle touched grass)
- (Internet slang, derogatory) To spend time outside, off of the Internet. Used in the imperative to suggest that someone is out of touch with reality, and should gain some real-world perspective.
- 2023 January 18, Annie Rauwerda, “Wikipedia's Redesign Is Barely Noticeable. That's the Point.”, in Slate[3], archived from the original on 2023-06-09:
- To an outsider, the meticulous, sometimes combative arguments about, say, moving a button five pixels to the left seem pointless. I beg of thee, please, touch grass! But to many, Wikipedia is sort of a home on the internet. And people want to live somewhere nice.
- Used other than figuratively or idiomatically: see touch, grass.
