« Back to Glossary Index

Put Your Oar In means to offer opinions or to get involved in a discussion, situation, or argument that doesn’t concern you. It is typically used to tell someone to mind their own business or to stop interfering in matters that don’t involve them.

Examples:
1. In an online gaming forum:
User1: Finally completed the level! So proud of myself.
User2: You should’ve chosen a different weapon. It would’ve been easier.
User1: Dude, put your oar in somewhere else. I didn’t ask for your advice.

2. On a social media post:
User1: Just got back from my dream vacation to Bali. Feeling so grateful.
User2: You know, you should definitely consider visiting Thailand. It’s way better than Bali.
User1: No offense, but can you please put your oar in somewhere else? This post is about Bali, not Thailand.

Synonyms:
interfere, meddle, insert oneself, intrude, intervene
