Calm down
-
Tell them to get angrier and short circuit them instead.
I wonder if that would work, like you just start getting mad at them for how half hearted they are about the whole thing. Start saying 'if you are only going to be 10% tough about this shit you should just sit down'

The most incendiary 2-word phrase in the English language. Said by anyone to anyone.
It's belittling and aggressive and dismissive and infuriating all at once.
Even saying something as similar as "get a grip!" has a much better chance of success.

Sometimes people do need to calm down though

Thats not fair at all, you ever see a dude wanting to fight and you tell him to calm down. I think telling pissed people to cool out just fires them up.
Yeah, I feel like there's rarely a "calm down" window for the men that need to hear it. There's calm, then there's hurting themselves by breaking things or hurting other people. "You need to calm the fuck down!" is likely to work, whereas "You need to calm down" will only make things work.
Insecurities fuelled by testosterone. Where fisty cuffing anything appears to be a positive step toward sound resolution.

Emotionally mature women do calm down. It just depends on the level of trust she has in what you say.
If you are known to her as someone she trusts and listens to, then she will consider if you are right and start to calm down if she thinks you are.
But it depends a bit on age and maturity and life experiences and all sorts of things.

So use any one of the multitudinous other phrases available in English to actually HELP them become calmer or less agitated. Respond to the facts of the individual situation instead. "He's not worth it." "You're better than this/you have been doing so much better, don't let this set you back." "You're in a bad trip man, gonna have to ride it out as easy as you can." "Chill, dude." "Take a deep breath." (This may be followed by one loud long scream, but that's cathartic and may be followed by rational behavior)
Nobody, no matter how much they need to get control over their emotions and behavior, needs to "calm down".

For some reason big guys LOVE telling little guys to calm down -- even if they're not really mad

Get mad about it idiot
Bonus points if you’re completely uninvolved and just walking past an argument.

Found worse by accident. "Chill". Just, nothing more.
I really have to keep watvh on myself to not use it...it was my default...

Yeah, the only way that I've found really works is to use "I" statements.
Aiaiai, you need to calm down!

Listen to the woman John!
Calm down! Just calm down!
I think Abraham Lincoln's head just did that.

It's funny how upset some get over the phrase when in fact they really do need to calm down. You need to use some roundabout term for it, "chill", even though it means the same thing.
Interesting thing
