Allow Me To Explain

A few weeks ago I heard the phrase let me unpack this a bit on a radio news show. Since then I have heard numerous variations, let's unpack this or a lot to unpack here. Not sure who is responsible for starting this phrase, but it certainly has caught on. And I was just getting used to let me break this down for you. We could go way back and start unpeeling all the layers of some metaphorical onion. We've gone from layered bulb vegetables that make you cry to chemistry and now we're emptying out suitcases. When all we're really doing is explaining something in its simplest terms. But we must have a trending catchphrase, you say. I'm sitting here peeled, broken, and unpacked. Was there something you wanted to tell me?
