People say shut up so that you can be quiet but shut up is a rather rude way to say it.
People say shut up because they want you to be quiet in a mean way and sometimes they try to bring you down with shut up.
In casual, friendly speech, "shut up" is sometimes used to express emphasis, disbelief or surprise. It's fine in ordinary friendly banter. This phrase wouldn't ever be appropriate if you are in a setting where you want to be respectful of the people you're with.
probably because u should shut up. Also people think there all cool for saying this
sorry i rubbed off your . yeah i know thanks for telling me why my sis always says that yeah she thinks its cool
