A clever phrase to let chums know how thouroughly annoyed you are with them at any given moment. Most
effective when
cleverly hidden in an unexpected place, in a seemingly
unrelated sentence. (See example below.)
Chum: Man, did you watch that special they had on dateline
last night? The one about Lynyrd Skynyrd? That was
really cool.
You: Yeah, it was pretty sweet. Almost as cool as SHUT
THE HELL UP!
