Como se dice "shut your pie-hole!"?

Question

My daughter and I are learning Spanish together. She got mad at me after I spouted every Spanish word I know at her to prove I was studying. (Must have been10, maybe even 12). Anyway, she said she was going to learn how to tell me to "Shut your pie-hole" and I figured here would be a good place to ask. Any helpers?

After looking, I came up with "¡Cierra su agujero de pastel!" but I don't think thats right.

Answer 1

"Shut your pie-hole" is a saying in English that can't be directly translated to Spanish. "Cierra la boca" is shut your mouth, which is close. If you say shut your pie-hole to a spanish speaking person they wouldn't understand.

That was, indeed, a very graceful and discreet response, Elizabeth-Sh! - 0057ed01, Jan 11, 2010

Answer 2

I like to say "callate el hocico". Hocico is the snout of an animal in which the mouth and nose is contained. This is a very rude way to say it because you liken the person to an animal

this answer is as close as you will come to the equivalent of "shut your pie-hole", but is rude. - Silvia, Jan 12, 2010

Answer 3

Try finding a version of the comedy "So I Married an Axe Murder" with Spanish audio or subtitles and see what they use.

BTW, good for you for showing your youngin you can do it too!

Answer 4

Cállate = be quiet, or shut up.
