[Ads-l] "shut up talking"

[Cohen, Gerald Leonard]

This looks like a blend: "shut up talking" < "shut up" + "stop talking."

So have I. What should a person say, instead? "Don't talk about..."? "Stop

about..." really strike people as an odd construction, even odder than
"splitting" an infinitive with "not"?
