How many tits were calmed by ‘calm your tits’ tho??
I disagree. I told my wife to “calm down” once, and it worked perfectly. She went from emotional to very calm and focused.
It might have been at the incongruity that I would actually dare say that, or just the time for her incandescent rage to move to fully focusing on me, but she DID calm down (for 2-3 seconds).
If you say it in the same tone of voice that Muhammad Ali used to tell Joe Frazier to sit down during that television chat show altercation, and while slowly unzipping your trousers in a manner similar to when a cop places his hand on his holstered Glock, it works pretty well.
“Alright, relaaaaax”
Can you start breathing deeply and count to ten on your fingers / quietly announce “I’m counting breaths” partway through? Maybe motion for them to join…
Perhaps with friends at least
Things you’ve never done in your life don’t count for this.
In the game “Death Road to Canada”, if you have a character with low intelligence, you get the option to say “Cool it!” when talking to people you meet along the way.
That dialogue option always makes them angry and either stop talking to you or attack you outright.
“Ok ok alright”
And the always helpful: “I’m just calling 911”.
*Trying to have a perfectly reasonable discussion with someone.
Calm down
Throws first punch
Wrong.
It calmed at most -500 people just today.
I disagree. Rema ft Selena Gomez is very soothing.
As my father used to say, “The only decision you should make while angry is to stop being angry.”
If you add some form of “chive on” it does appear to work, tho’.
Hands on hips, nose in the air: “I only speak with people who are calm.”
Which is why I only use it when someone is being a genuine dick, 'cause I know it’ll send them into a rage.
I don’t think it’s meant to. I mean, isn’t it a more polite version of “shut the fuck up”?
