STANdard parental-directive
"Stop That Awful Noise!" A "nuclear-level" version of da "first-and-foremost" or "usual" or "most frequently voiced" order --- "Be quiet" --- dat parents give their small children on innumerable occasions.
Lucy van Pelt super-loudly passed along da STANdard parental-directive from her mom --- a gentle request dat she and her visiting friends play their raucously-loud "cowboys and Indians" game more quietly --- to her toddler-brother Linus when he'd merely been shaking his baby-rattle; da joke, of course, was dat (A) da merely-faint sounds dat Linus was making were hardly even audible (especially compared to all of da shrill-'n'-noisy "shoot-'em-up bang" whooping and hollering dat Lucy and her friends had previously been carrying on with), and (B) she herself had absolutely b-e-l-l-o-w-e-d (indicated by a sawtooth-edged word-balloon instead of just a regular smooth words-enclosing line) said command ("Didn't you hear Mother?! STOP THAT AWFUL NOISE!!"), and so she herself was making an infinitely-louder racket than Linus had ever produced.

klapst
Dear Miss Manners:
My friends want me to join in on a game of tag, but I am too worn out to play. What should I do?
Klapst
Cher Klapst,
Gently explain to your friends that you are presently just too exhausted to expend any physical effort for the time being, but that you will be more than happy to play with them after you have gotten sufficient rest.

insiddyous
Describes da "subtle 'n' sneaky" ways dat Tom Sawyer's supposedly-goody-two-shoes half-brother actually possesses, but displays only when Aunt Polly's back is turned.
Tom's whiny younger brother may indeed act all "prim 'n' proper" when observing adults are present, but his insiddyous actions are a major aggravation to Tom.
