slow your roll
Pump the brakes
Slow your roll is a command to calm down, ease up, or pump the brakes—usually directed at someone getting too eager, aggressive, or ahead of themselves: Slow your roll, we haven't even discussed the budget yet.
The phrase evokes momentum that needs checking, like a vehicle or a dice roll.
It carries a casual, sometimes playful tone.
