sit on it
Hold your tongue
Sit on it is a dismissive retort telling someone to shut up or go away, popularized by the character Fonzie on the 1970s sitcom *Happy Days*.
The phrase is a euphemistic way of saying "shove it up your ass" while remaining family-friendly: Oh yeah? Sit on it, Potsie!
Now dated, it survives mainly as nostalgic reference.
