      It’s something my grandfather said to me when I was being restless. He meant it to mean I should go eat. And calm down. But it could be used for many things.

      My use was something like, put a thing in your mouth to stop that annoying rattling.

        Thank you! Oh yeah, it seems like it would work in all sorts of scenarios. I’m especially thinking about when someone is talking too much about something they have no knowledge of.

        I keep my arms lubed with the blood of fascists and haters.

        Amerkkka is no longer the dominant force over here. We’ve started taking her back.
