When we tell someone to “keep your shirt on“, we are asking them to stay calm and patient, especially if they are annoyed or impatient. It’s a fun and friendly way to say “relax” or “don’t rush”.
Here are two examples in sentences:
Example 1:
We will get to the park soon, just keep your shirt on.
Example 2:
I know you’re hungry, but dinner will be ready soon, so keep your shirt on.
Now, let’s see two examples in a conversation:
Example 3:
Bob: When will we finally get to eat?
Alice: Just keep your shirt on, Bob. The pizza will be here in a few minutes.
Example 4:
Sophie: Are we there yet?
Mum: Sophie, we’ll get there when we get there. Just keep your shirt on.
So, the next time someone is getting a bit impatient or annoyed, you can use the phrase “keep your shirt on” to tell them to stay calm and wait patiently.
