Pronounced with excessive exaggeration of the second "a", as in example 1. Shaddap is used to tell somebody to shut up without sounding overly serious. It can also be used
pre-emptively, as in example 2. The
crowning usage of shaddap however is as an unexpected end to a phrase, particularly when used to imply that somebody had said
something extremely stupid.
1. "Shaddaaaaaaaaaaaap."
2. "I know what you'
re going to say, and I'm telling you, shaddap."
3. "How much more does a hard
drive weigh when
full?"
"Oh it weighs about shaddaaaap."
