skip it

Don't bother, really

Skip it is a dismissive phrase meaning never mind, forget about it, or don't bother.

It signals that something isn't worth pursuing further—whether a question, task, or topic of conversation: I was going to explain, but skip it.

The tone ranges from casual to mildly annoyed depending on context.
