Oh, dude, the phrase "simmer down" comes from the literal act of reducing the heat when cooking something on the stove. It's like telling someone to chill out and lower their emotional temperature, you know? So, next time someone's all fired up, just tell them to simmer down and maybe offer them some soup or something.
