TMI
Spare the details
TMI is an acronym for "too much information," used when someone shares details that are excessive, inappropriate, or uncomfortable—typically about bodily functions, health issues, or intimate matters: She started describing her surgery in detail—TMI!
The phrase functions as a gentle rebuke or humorous deflection.
