Meaning & Usage
01
"shut up, shut your mouth"
The aggressive Persian 'shut up' — literally 'suffocate yourself.' It's harsher than 'sāket bāsh' (be quiet) because the image is violent: stop talking by choking. It's the standard way to aggressively silence someone in an argument without resorting to sexual or family insults.
