Don't forget what you were going to say · Pause your idea, I need to say something first
This expression is perfect when someone's about to share an awesome idea or story, but you need to quickly interject something important or handle a quick task. It's like saying, "Pause, don't lose that great idea, I'll be right back to hear it!" It keeps the conversation flowing without losing track of brilliant insights. ✨
💡 **Pro-tip!** "Hold that thought" is super useful for managing conversations when you need to briefly interrupt. It assures the other person that you value their contribution and intend to return to it. It’s a polite way to hit the pause button! You can follow it up with "What were you saying?" or "Okay, you can continue now." 😉
