Baka mo Yasumi Yasumi Ie

When someone says many ridiculous things, the following phrase may help you.

Baka mo yasumi yasumi ie (馬鹿も休み休み言え).

Since baka (馬鹿) means "idiot/silly," yasumi (休み) means "rest," and ie (言え) is the imperative form of "to say," the literal meaning of baka mo yasumi yasumi ie is "Say something silly after getting rest."

In other words, this phrase means "Don't say many silly things continuously" and "You have to think more carefully before you say something."

This phrase is sometimes used in movies or comics, but it is rarely used in our real lives.
馬鹿も休み休み言え

ふざけたことばかり言う人に対しては、次のフレーズを使うとよいかもしれません。

「馬鹿も休み休み言え」

「馬鹿」は "idiot"、「休み」は "rest" を意味し、「言え」は "to say" の命令形であるため、「馬鹿も休み休み言え」の文字どおりの意味は "Say something silly after getting rest" となります。

すなわち、「続けて馬鹿なことばかり言うな」、「もっとよく考えてから発言しろ」といわけです。

映画や漫画の中でときどき見かけるフレーズですが、現実ではめったに使われないかもしれません。
