Shut up a degree, or better known as SUD. Is a reply students tell there, parents or friends, when they ask the dreaded question, "what do you want to do?", "What career are you interested in?", "What kind of job do you want?". And you, as a young adolescent have no freaking clue. So you choose a random degree that sounds flashy, like, "Well I'm interested in getting my doctorate!", Or "Law sounds pretty nice!". When in reality your just naming out any degree to end the conversation. In the end, you are trying to get them to shut up and move to another topic.
Parent of 15-year-old: "Hey Jimmy, what kind of careers are you looking at?"
*Jimmy has no interest in this subject and just wants to continue to play Fortnite*
Jimmy: "well, honestly I'm really interested in making you proud and becoming a doctor, probably a surgeon!"
*Jimmy is a germophobe, and has a major fear of blood*
*Parents shut up, and Jimmy continues to play Fortnite*
