This weekend one of my ex-students & good friends came into town for a visit so I thought I'd introduce a few expressions you can use in casual English to say that you've known someone for a long time.
We go way back.
You often use this when introducing an old friend or someone you've known for a very long time.
Alice: Kay,I had no idea you knew Jerry.
Kay: Yeah, we go way back but I haven't seen him in years. We kind of lost touch.
To lose touch with someone is when you lose contact with them & don't know what they are doing anymore...
Another way of saying the same thing:
We go back a long way.
Fred: How long have you been friends with Jack.
Jim: Jack? Oh, we go back a long way... maybe 15-20 years.
Fred: Wow, that's a long time!
Have a great week,
Phil
