sit down
Plant yourself somewhere
To sit down is to lower oneself into a seated position, the opposite of standing up: Sit down and make yourself comfortable.
The phrase emphasizes the action of taking a seat rather than already being seated.
A sit-down is an informal meeting or discussion: We need to have a sit-down about your grades.
A sit-down meal or restaurant is one where guests are served at tables rather than standing or taking food to go.
