word of advice
Counsel freely given
A word of advice is a brief suggestion or recommendation, typically offered to help someone avoid trouble or make a better decision.
Despite the singular "word," it usually introduces a full statement: A word of advice—don't sign anything until you've read it twice.
The phrase often carries a slightly cautionary or paternal tone.
