gzb:

{!blâl-pôm ĝyl-ť-zô mwe.}
frustration-ATD  interrupt-2-V.ACT IMP

{blâl-pôm} is an attitudinal, thus sentence-scope, adverb derived
from the mindstate root {blâl} with the suffix for evidential /
attitudinal / validational adverbs.

In Esperanto, probably:

Fermu la faŭkon!
(Shut your trap!)

"faŭko" is a word for "mouth" used with large animals, esp.
predators; roughly English "maw".
