some other time

Postponed until whenever

Some other time is a polite way of declining or postponing something while suggesting future possibility: Can we do this some other time?

The phrase softens rejection by implying willingness to reschedule, though often it's merely diplomatic—the other time may never come.

Thanks for the invite, but maybe some other time.
