save it

Stop talking now

Save it is a dismissive command telling someone to stop talking—to keep their excuses, explanations, or arguments to themselves because the listener doesn't want to hear them.

Save it, I've heard enough.

Save it for someone who cares.

The phrase implies that whatever the person was about to say is unwelcome or pointless.
