Reach out and touch faith

The 'best' part (and most known part) of the song 'Personal Jesus' by Depeche Mode from 1990.

Was an awesome song back in it's day, but nobody barely knows about it now.

Long Reach High School

Long Reach, oh where does one begin? I suppose the beginning would work. Alright so LRHS is a high school in Howard County a.k.a. HoCo. The school was built in 1997 to alleviate over congestion at the local shit hole (Howard High School). The principle is Mr. Burton who's trademark is calling us "Long Reach family" which no one likes because if you're dating someone at the school that's gross incest. Either way, Long Reach High School's claim(s) to fame are probably that hanging behind the school (a non student) and the infamous French Fry Fight. Both events stood to tarnish the otherwise stellar reputation of Long Reach Which brings us to the next issue. Long Reach and fights are not synonymous. There are not that many fights at the school, well no more than at any other school. Long Reach isn't ghetto and only the kids at River Hill High School, who stay high as jet planes, say that it is. Long Reach has a running rivalry with pretty much every other school in Howard County mainly because the other high schools talk down about Long Reach and sully the schools good name. Long Reach was featured in a scene from the movie "Borat" and also sends numerous kids to ivy league schools each year. Bottomline, Long Reach is a pretty good school ranked as one of the best schools in the country, which begs the question: if Long Reach is so bad then what's the worst school in the nation like? Maybe a hole in the wall...or a trash can.
Kid one: What school do you go to?
Kid two: Long Reach High School
Kid one: Oh that's schools ghetto, there been anymore fights since the French fry fight?
Kid two: Well where do you go?
Kid one: River Hill.
kid two: Been any drug busts since the one from last week?
Kid one: Touché.

REACH

Reach, or reaching is a synonym for come, coming, arrive, arriving, attend, attending etc.

It is often used in place of such phrases as: "Are you coming?", "Are you going\going to make it?", " Are you on your way?" in the interrogitive, and "Come over", "I'll be there", "I'm on the way" etc. in the exclamatory.
It often stands alone as the sole word in an (sms)text message.

Anecdotal evidence could lead one to believe that this unconventional, ambiguous usage of the word was introduced into the urban lexicon by homophobic, adolescent, or twenty-something wiggas, who possibly feared reprisal at the double entendre the words come and coming conjured in their cohorts, friends and\or homies.

Ultimately, and this is just a gut feeling, I believe the aforementioned (admittedly dubious) etymological origin story smacks of the clumsy and often extremely loose and liberal repurposing of words and phrases which have become commonplace in the post-www.\sms era of of the past few decades.

Said slanglish was probably first uttered by one young hip-hop sycophant to a friend, or acquaintance who probably had to ask for clarification as to its contextual meaning. Apparently, it was deemed either sufficiently cool and\or enough of a time\140 character saver when used as a single word in place of an entire sentence, that it managed to gain traction and be thusly co-opted and amalgamated into the lols and imhos of females aged 12-32...ensuring it's inclusion in the Urban Dictionary.
