touches grass
Leaves the screen
To touch grass is to step away from screens and online activity, typically to reconnect with the physical world.
The phrase often appears as dismissive advice to someone obsessing over internet drama or discourse: You need to touch grass.
It implies the person has lost perspective by spending too much time online.
Sometimes used self-deprecatingly: I haven't touched grass in days.
