Hush Your Mouth
We do not think that this rude command needs much explanation, as you have most likely been told to keep quiet enough times in your life by various teachers and parents to recognize what this Southern take on demanding that someone stop speaking means. “Hush your mouth” is one of the many ways that people will tell each other to shut up, like “put a cork in it”, “zip the lip”, or “hold your tongue”.
