sitting down
Occupying a seat
Sitting down is the act of lowering oneself into a seated position: I was just sitting down when the phone rang.
The phrase emphasizes the transition from standing to sitting, distinct from simply being seated.
It can signal settling in for a task or conversation: We need to have a sitting-down talk about this.
