Shut up...!!!!!

Hi sagnik You seem to be too sensitive and good person. But while using the phrase "shut up" why do you feel hesitant. As a college teacher I often resort to this phrase to quiet the unruly students and from as this has happened a habt I do not feel bad to utter the same phrase to others to.

Just shut up........ just kidding. If someone goes on and on and on you have to either move or just say shut up. Nothing is rude in that and if u have real friends those who understand you then u should not even think about telling them to shut.

I have said this to people before but they have to push me to my limit before it comes out of my mouth. I can only be nice for so long and tolerate people. When they are still inconsiderate when they know I need peace and quiet, I have tell them to shut up sometimes. I tell them to shut up also if they are running their mouth to me and I did not deserve it also.

hi sagnik! for me i don't care if i may hurt someones feeling, if the persons is really annoying i really say the word with stress or sometimes i say "zip up you mouth", but i can't say this word to my wife, huhuhu!!

I couldn't imagine saying that to someone. If I knew them or if I didn't. I think removing myself from the situation gets my vote for a better response. That phrase is just rude in my opinion. I didn't even like it when a while back some of the kids were using that phrase to mean the equivilant of "are you kidding" I was glad that phase passed quickly.

I think its rude to say "Shut up" i prefer saying something else that sounds less rude like "be quite"

I usually avoid to say these words, in it places I try to change the discussion issue or say straight - I don't want to talk about that! It's more responsive to your collocutor and more pleasant to your self.

I hardly ever say shut up, it's usually "be quite" or "enough!" lol

I rarely do it unless I am being pressure that I am never given a chance to explain myself and the person whom i am talking continue in bragging then become too dominant. As much as possible i remain my gentle poise and control my temper but when it already reach my limitation and i think i am being abuse. I have no choice but to speak it.

These are words that I don't like at all, so I try not to use them on someone. Instead, if I am in a situation where I can find a decent way to end the conversation and move on to someone or something else, then that is what I will do. Otherwise, I will make an excuse to end the conversation that is at hand and getting on my nerves and try to talk about something else instead. Worst case scenario, I will say that it is getting on my nerves, but I won't say "shut up."

I use "Hush" and not "shut up". Sometimes, my boyfriend and I jokingly say that to one another but we both know it's not meant in a bad way. We don't do it to other people because they may not get the "joke" of it. So, in those cases, we tend to say "hush" or "zip it".

No Sagnik, I wouldn't even say that to my own son when I'm angry at him. I would just turn away. I never use them on my friends either. If they talk too much, I would just stare at them blankly, or try to divert their attention, so we can discuss something else. When a good friend is beginning to act and say too much nonsense in front of other people, I would take her shoulder and lead her gently out of the crowd to somewhere private and tell her gently that she's beginning to make a fool of herself. I just don't like to hurt other people's feelings.

I have no problem saying it, but if it's a friend I would put a funny tone to my voice to take the sharpness out of it. People need to learn when they are with other people to consider their feelings as well as their own. Just because you want to talk, doesn't mean others are interested in listening.

"Shut UP!!!" We want to use this words when we don't want to hear anymore or want to stop someone saying something. You have to be rude to use "Shut UP!!!" I never told anyone in my life to anyone because I cannot do this. I have told many times to many people to keep quite but in a polite manner whenever I feel irrtated hearing some boring things or something like that. When I want to say that I don't to hear any more I requested him/her politely. But to seniors, it maybe relatives, stranger or some other person I couldn't say that I will be pleased if you keep quiet. I know that in future too, I cannnot do that in any way. I have to bear non stop chattering which I don't want to hear. Many people can easily stop someone to shut his/her mouth but that is not so easy task for me. I was also told many times to shut my mouth by many people which sometimes hurt me, sometimes I realised he was right to tell me to shut my mouth, but at the same time I have thought he could have told me that more politely.

sagnik42 I think those two words are as insulting as a slap in the face. I do not give a fig if the person is being annoying you can always just say I must go ,I have an appointment, and leave. Shut up is mean and very rude. if someone tells me that,I will say I am leaving as I do not want to go to jail for slugging you,if I stay I will hit you. bye.

I can't say I have recently. I will generally say I don't feel like talking anymore and could I be left alone. Or maybe just walking away when I am fed up and still letting the other know that I have to go now or something like that. I try to avoid with people I care about.

Hi sagnik I don't use it so often because I consider it to be rude. If I really get annoyed with somebody I would say 'Be quiet' or something similar to that. On the other hand, if it were my friends I would just glare at them (sadly this doesn't work most of the times, haha) and if they don't understand it, I will probably ask them to shut up. I should mention that my tolerance levels are too high so most of the times I end up being silent and just glaring at them.
