Porque no te callas? 

English translation: Why don't you shut up?

A remark made by the King of Spain when Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez repeatedly insulted and spoke over Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar calling him a "fascist" at the Cumbre Iberoamericana.

In reality, anyone with half a brain knows that the fascist dictator is actually Chavez himself.
Hugo Chavez: You are a fascist blah blah blah...

'Because' in Spanish. Used as a conjunction.

Different from "¿Por qué?", which means "why?".

Guy 2: Comí todo el pastel porque tuve hambre. (I ate the whole cake because I was hungry.)
