This is actually a rude way to tell someone to be quiet, not a subtle or polite way.

“A man’s stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth” From the produce of his lips shall he be filled. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat it’s fruit.” Proverbs 18: 20,21
Ashley Mann – (money doesn’t grow on trees) May 26, 2023
The quote, “money doesn’t grow on trees” is wrong, seriously, dead wrong!
Money does come from trees.
From the very trees that provides oxygen for humans to breathe to live and provide shade and coolness from the hot, scorning sun on bright summer days. And if orchard trees, they provides food. As such, existence of comfort lasts a lifetime.
If it’s money, it’s more likely spend on oxygens to breathe, electric fans foe coolness, a bag of groceries, and other useless fads and even scammed by human parasities.
Yes, money made from dead trees, only give you a “quickie,” on instant gratification, then — poof, it’s gone.

I think that if someone looks tired or sick you could say, “Hit the sack/hay.”
Regan Walker – (take aback) May 16, 2023
The expression may be older. Originally ‘aback’ was two words: ‘a’ and ‘back’, but these became merged into a single word in the 15th century. A use of “taken aback” was recorded in the London Gazette in 1697.

Spencer Pitts – (keep your chin up) May 14, 2023
Lmao, when hanging prisoners the hangman would say to sacred or crying (often always men) keep your chin up, as a small measure of advice to face their sentence like a man, but also when being hung by the neck, if one holds their neck straight and high The chances of a good cleannbreak are highly likely causing instant death rather than slow strangulation.
Htet Aung – (better off) May 13, 2023
The lady is better off without taking her son everywhere because her son is so naughty so that people don’t dislike coming her son except her mother.
