Hello and welcome to the English we speak.

I'm Jaiing.

And I'm Neil.

Have you seen Rob today?

He seems really sad.

Ah yes, he went to the shop, but sadly they'd run out of biscuits.

And then...

Ah, that's why he's sad.

Say no more.

That's a bit rude.

I was going to tell you about what happened next.

But I won't if you don't want me to speak anymore.

No, Neil. I said, say no more.

Which is an expression used when we understand what someone is trying to say, and there's no need for any further explanation.

That makes sense. You know what I think would be a good idea? I could do with a coffee.

Say no more. I'll stay out of his way.

Thanks for telling me about the big meeting. Say no more, I'll be there.

When I told the decorator I wasn't happy with the colour of the walls, he just said,

say no more and repainted them.
