stop doing or saying something annoying · stop talking about something · take a break
You know those moments when someone's going on and on about the same thing, or doing something super repetitive? 😬 That's when 'give it a rest' comes in handy! It's a friendly (or sometimes exasperated) way to say, 'Hey, enough is enough, let's move on!'
Which English expression is best for telling someone to stop constantly repeating a story they've told many times? A. give it a rest B. knock it off C. lighten up
💡 **Pro-Tip!** While it literally means to take a break, in daily conversation, it's often used to tell someone to stop talking or doing something repetitive that's becoming annoying. Think of it as a polite (but firm!) nudge to change the subject or activity. Sometimes it can even mean 'relax' or 'calm down' if someone is overthinking something. Context is key! 🔑
