Anyone notice the huge increase in misuse of "fleshed out"? (sh.itjust.works)

I've literally heard over 5 people over a few months (professionals in their fields) say FLUSHED out when referring to ideas or concepts. It drives me insane. I blame TikTok! No i have no idea what is causing it. My SO has noticed it as well.

Well to be fair, efficiency implies effectiveness. You can't make something efficient without it being effective first.
