Expression used to keep a bitch in line, or at least on a short leash. It is quite effective in asserting one's supreme authority, essentially conveying to the recipient of such a disparaging remark, to pipe down. But the true punch comes with the name calling, for there is nothing more denigrating than to be referred to as a cut of fecal matter. Indeed, the "turd", upon being devastated with such a blunt, scathing put-down, will have no other choice but to "shut it".
There is no other expression that is as insulting and psychologically damaging as this one. Perhaps a close second is "Bitch, please!" if delivered properly.
**Note: The expression, when used by a female on a male, packs the most punch.
