check, please

Definition

A verbal timeout card played when someone drops a confusing reference or term mid-conversation and you need them to back up and explain. Think of it as the conversational equivalent of raising your hand and saying "wait, what?" but with more restaurant flair.

Example Usage

Mike started explaining his cryptocurrency mining setup and I had to call "check, please" when he mentioned his hash rate validator.
