Shut Up

Postby eberntson » Thu Nov 16, 2006 11:36 am

I know it seems very banal but this word has many meanings and uses. Many of the uses are not "rude", so I think it is a good candidate. Although, the use that brought it to mind is a famous line "Shut up Eccels!!"

Well if it was used on The Goon Show, it can't be all bad!

The phrase is sometimes used in the sense of, "No way!", "You're kidding!", etc.

Because my kids are much to likely to use it in the sense of "Stifle Edith", I try to discourage them from using the phrase at all. (As if I have a snowball's chance in hell of succeeding in this!)

Don't forget the outmoded "Get out of town!"

Shut up Man, kids listen to you. I'm sure a snowball exist in Hell, what would they torture those poor souls with. There is no ice water... :lol:

If you can't control your kids perhaps they could use being shut up in a closet until they are ready to go to work? :P

I hope that you never get confused about what to do with which!
