stay home
Skip going out
Stay home means to remain at one's residence rather than going out.
The phrase often implies deliberately not leaving: I'm going to stay home tonight.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, stay home became a public health directive.
Stay home contrasts with go out, and in American English is more common than the British stay at home.
