This still does not address the issue of “cleansing” as in to flush the lungs with air or not adding to the ideas but culling out the useless stuff. Most meetings/folks these days are not “adding” anything and in fact you have to “cut to the chase.” Our new cut and paste world has created an environment where there is more useless information than new or additive. Hense the “useage of flush.” You do have to flush the information out and then you might flesh out the ideas. This is not as simple as you want to make it sound. Marketing folks are definately doing both these days!

When hunting birds one flushes out the birds to flight.

Here’s a question you might consider (I don’t see it in your archives): How did the original sense of flush meander into the phrase “flush with cash?”
