visit
/ˈvɪzɪt/
When used as a verb, "visit" can be used with or without the word "with". For example, you can say "I visited my friend" or "I visited with my friend." The latter is more common in American English and suggests spending more time talking. As a noun, "visit" is countable. You can have "a visit," "two visits," or "many visits." Be careful not to confuse the verb "visit" (the action) with the noun "visitor" (the person who goes to see someone).

Yo, my screen is totally frozen. You coming for a quick visit?
Brian
Did you restart it yet? Don't make me walk over there.

Mark uses 'visit' to ask Brian to come to his desk and fix his computer. The dynamic shows Mark's reliance on IT for simple issues and Brian's irritation, highlighted by the common IT trope of asking if the user restarted their device.
