Be gentle 

SELF PRESERVATION AND PROTECTION ACT 2015

Section 24- Protection via gentle direction

24(a)- A direction, or plea, for the oppression of an outside force, whether physical or non-physical, to be reduced from the level at which the oppression was set to be conveyed, or forced, against an individual.

(b)- The execution of the vocalisation, in regards to delivery and tone, is characterised, typically, by the actual phrase itself, and in effect, "Be gentle" is primarily spoken gently.

(c) The phrase may, or may not, be supported by additional vocalisations which demonstrate the weakness, either intended or not intended. of the victim.

Don't be gentle, It's a rental 

abusing the crap out of rental cars
My car was in the shop for repairs for a few days, so the dealer gave me this loaner car to drive. A friend rode with me in the loaner car, asked about it and where my car was, then told me "Don't be gentle, it's a rental." After he told me that, I figured "hey this car's not mine, why treat it like mine?" took his advice and beat the crap out of the rental car

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
