My Dad really liked the term Dummy Up.
When he wanted us to be quiet, that is what he would say. To US, it sounded as if he wanted us to act like idiots and make stupid grunting noises.
His logic was that in HIS time, a "dummy" was a mute...a person that could not speak.
It is still a dumb *** way to say SHUT up.
He is now dead.
