@the-gravedigger saidWhere does shut up come from? Back in the 1400s, shut up was a verb phrase meaning “to secure something away in a receptacle.” By the 1500s, shut up had evolved to variously mean “confine someone,” “close a door or window,” or “bring to a conclusion.” May 30, 2018
A commonly used phrase thought to have originated in Eastern Canada (colloq.)

Please! This thread is to inform about curious "foreign" (probably for the English speakers) words. Don't comment on them until you supply one.
Strange foreign words: "schubladiser" French word adapted from the German Schublade (drawer) denoting the use of those to put things away from attention.
You’ve brought it on yourself.

@very-rusty is an independent operator and his foibles are all his own
just because he dolts about like a constipated clydesdale, crapping in the street, does not mean that the ghost chamber is in any way to blame for his garbage
other than that

You have to really learn some manners there rookie! 🙂
I belong to 15 clubs, but mainly am in the Ghost Chamber trying to improve my chess, and am fairly well mannered in there if I want to compare myself to you rookie. 🙂 That is up to others to judge not you or me.
