When Cash Now Predators do the “Zoom zoom“
Some of these actors might appear at your door or pop up in a Zoom meeting, proudly sporting shirts plastered with the trademarked logos of one or more insurance companies, and casually sprinkling in the phrase “in conjunction with” like it’s the secret ingredient to their sales pitch soufflé.
What does “in conjunction with” actually mean?
“In combination with…”
The phrasal adverb “in conjunction with” means done or used with something else, according to Collins English Dictionary. If one thing is done in conjunction with another, this means that the two things are done or used jointly or together. This phrase can be used in normal speech, but can also be a legal term, usually used on things like coupons. A coupon may detail in the fine print that it cannot be used “in conjunction with” any other special offers or discounts. Source: The Word Counter
