Loop through
To process each element of a list of things.
"Hold on, I've got to loop through my paper mail."
Derives from the computer-language notion of an iterative loop; compare "cdr down" (under cdr), which is less common among C and Unix programmers.
ITS hackers used to say "IRP over" after an obscure pseudo-op in the MIDAS PDP-10 assembler.
