hold your horses

Another way of saying "slow down" or "stop." Usually used when someone is being hasty about something and a wiser person says "Hold your horses!" to make them stop and think. Encourages someone to have caution.

Based on the times when people used wagons or carriages, and when they needed to keep them under control they would need to literally hold the horses back from running.

"Hold your horses," said Joe, "you don't know when the movie even starts."

Flying Horseshit Conversation

The humorous conversations you have (usually while drunk or high) that go on about abstract, "what if" scenarios for very long lengths of time, usually until someone says something stupid and you all quit so they won't talk again.

We had a flying horseshit conversation about maxi pads, and decided that they would be better off called "blood sponges," prompting the new cartoon character "Blood Sponge Square Pants."
