spread the word
pass the word

In the morning, get on the phone and pass the word.

Do you want me to pass the word to anyone?

He'd been here and I was to pass the word if he showed again.

"They need time to pass the word that their lives are open books."

"Who do you think passed the word to those three?"

"They passed the word not to touch me and I was to be left alone."

He asks each of those people to pass the word to 10 others.

I'm just passing the word as it was given to me.

I passed the word to hold fire, and the file began moving.

I thought we'd pass the word, and that would be it.
