8 Idioms to tell someone to “shhh” or be quiet
Do you ever have the need to tell someone to be quiet? In some situations, you might have to tell people to quieten down and stop talking just before someone is about to speak (in a presentation, a meeting or conference) or a play is about to start in the theatre. In those instances, you would politely ask people to stop talking.
However, there are many more situations when you don’t want to politely ask the person or people to stop talking, especially if they have really annoyed you or you are fed up with the noise they’re making or the things they are saying. In which case, the idioms below would come in extremely useful!
It’s a lot easier to be polite than impolite in a foreign language no matter how proficient you are in that language. I have had many a time when I have got angry with someone in Italy and found myself spluttering rude words in English rather than in Italian as my native language came more naturally in anger.
So, I wouldn’t expect you to be able to use these idioms naturally especially when angry, impatient or irritated. These idioms might instead be very helpful in trying to understand films and television as they are often used in dialogue.
1.Put a sock in it (British English)
2. Cork it
3. Button it
4. Shut your pie hole (American English) or Shut your cake hole (British English)
5. Zip your lips or Zip it!
6. Wind your neck in
7. Simmer down – this is not used in a rude, impolite way. It is used informally.
8. Pipe down
And so there you have it! 8 or more different ways to tell someone to shush. Do you know others? How many ways do you have in your language?
