Meaning and Interpretation

Yo 🤫 This one's basically telling someone to shut their trap - either keep it down or zip it about something. Like when your friend is about to spill the tea you told them not to share, just hit 'em with this. Super useful for saying "chill out, not a word" without actually having to say it out loud and make noise. The finger over the lips is the universal sign for STFU, you feel me?
