shut one’s face

zavřít pusu, sklapnout

This woman really wound me up. She kept talking over me so I told her to shut her face and cut her off.

But when yesterday’s caller refused to listen to Snelly’s explanation he exploded and said: You don’t even listen to my show. You don’t know what I said, so why don’t you just shut your face. As the woman continued to speak over him he said: Oh just shut up and hung up.

Please leave your name and number, and the postal area code and I couldn’t figure out what they meant, your post code, or what, anyway, I sort, I left this long pause, shut my face I left this really long pause.
