Hold Your Horses
Tells someone to wait or slow down; be patient before acting.
Examples
- Hold your horses — we still need the manager's OK before we send that invoice.
- Hold your horses, I'll be there in ten minutes; the bus is running late.
- Hold your horses, maybe I should double-check the details before I say yes.
