ЗАМЯТЬ ДЛЯ ЯСНОСТИ
Literal definition: to mash for clarity
Meaning: an attempt to stop the discussion without getting to the final point as continuing it might aggravate the situation. The phrase is used to avoid clarifying and listing all the details that are not relevant (at first glance) to the events that are taking place. Sometimes sorting out these nuances can completely change the interlocutor’s attitude to the situation.
Usage example:
Сейчас уже не важно, что именно произошло. Предлагаю не тратить время и замять для ясности.
It doesn't matter what happened. Let's stop wasting our time and change the topic, for the sake of clarity.
