Big-shut-up 615
Cquote1
SILENCE!
—Basically everyone on this page
Cquote2


When simply saying it doesn't work someone screams "Shut up!" at another person (or group of people) when annoyed, upset, or pissed off. Could also be uttered when trying to put a Super-Powered Evil Side in its place. Variations include "SHUT THE HELL UP!", "QUIET!", "SHUT YOUR MOUTH/FACE!", etc. The Japanese version, very common, is 'URUSAI!', literally 'noisy!' Occasionally applied literally to Shut UP, Hannibal

Compare I Need You to Shut Up, Silence, You Fool, Ceiling Banger.

Examples of Big "Shut Up!" include:
