Che Che Che Che Che
Che che che che che…I think that’s how to spell that
sound. You know the one I mean, don’t you? I know husbands know the sound.
Che che che che che is the shushing sound you get when
your wife asks you a question and as you answer, the commercial ends and “Say
Yes to the Dress” comes back on.
Che che che che che is not a finger to the lips polite shush, it is a POWER shush.
Che che che che che is the sound you get when you are at
a party and you start to talk politics.
Che che che che che is the sound you hear from every
woman at a Super Bowl party when you try and discuss the game and the commercials
start.
Sometimes, like when your wife is on the phone and you absolutely have to ask for where something is in the frig, you get a silent Che che che che che, which is hand up and an angry shushy face with no sound.
Sometimes, like when your wife is on the phone and you absolutely have to ask for where something is in the frig, you get a silent Che che che che che, which is hand up and an angry shushy face with no sound.
Che che che che che is usually made with an outstretched shaky hand in your face.
Che che che che che will be repeated if you continue to
talk and a full reprimand will follow later.
Men do not
do the Che che che che che. Men only receive the Che che che che che.
A man’s equivalent
is “Dude!” They will only do that to
another dude. Shushing or “Dude!” is
never directed to a woman. This is not
out of politeness or being a gentleman, it is because shushing never works on a
woman. A woman cannot be shushed, she
only shushes.
If a man Che che che che che’s his wife she
will only ask why.
“Che che che che che”
“What…why?”
“The game’s back on, it’s fourth
down. The game is on the line.”
“So watch! You don’t need to hear what happens…don’t
ever Che che che che che me.”
“But…”
“Che che che che che”
I forgot
that one, Che che che che che also
means “end of discussion.”
Why can
women use the Che che che che che
and men can’t?
I don’t
know. I don’t make the rules, I just
follow them.
I've never che che'd in my life. but there have been many instances of a raised finger or hand and several utterings of Uh Uh! as in don't touch that, say that, shut the hell up right now!
ReplyDeleteMost recently I've trained my cat with a raised hand (stop sign style) and a sharp uh uh, when he hears this he changes his mind about leaping up onto the table.
I'm sitting here practicing the sound and wishing I had learned long ago. The cat seemed interested though.
ReplyDeleteOh, shush! I have NO idea what you are talking about.
ReplyDeleteThe hubs is quite deaf, che che che wouldn't work on him because he wouldn't hear it. The hand comes into play, and sometimes I holler "shut up" when I'm really desperate.
ReplyDeleteIs this a New Jersey thing?
ReplyDeleteHmm, I can't even pronounce Che, I'm sure I don't use it. Not worth doing.
ReplyDeleteWhen he is reckless enough to interrupt me at an inopportune time, I just BLAST the volume and he scampers away in abject fear. Well trained, he is!
ReplyDeleteFunny you should mention that. I che che che'd just last evening, when Hick tromped into the kitchen while I was getting supper ready, trying to hear the end of Final Jeopardy on the living room TV. Everything was good until he clomped in, leaving mud from his work boots (noise enough) and blathering about how cold it was.
ReplyDeleteCHE CHE CHE CHE!
By the time he shut up, I'd missed the second contestant's answer, which was right. Alex does not repeat the right answer after somebody gets it. I'll never know what the biblical translation of "pneuma hagion" is!
It's "holy spirit"!!
DeleteThanks! Bud must have let you hear the end of Jeopardy!
DeleteI've not done this either. I probably got the wrong playbook when I was born. That could be.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day. ☺
I don't recall my Mrs. C. using this on mt; instead she uses the old "stink eye."
ReplyDeleteche che che? Must be a east-coast thing
ReplyDeleteGoodness, I have never che che che'd a fellow. Who knew there was such a weapon? Kicking shins under the table was all I had and with out a table, I was powerless. Hum.
ReplyDeleteSweetie doesn't shush easily. In fact, if you are desperate to hear something, like the noise the engine started making, and you shush him, he starts talking more, asking why in the world he should need to be quiet.
ReplyDeleteMy wife will give me the "don't you CHE me!" in about a nanosecond, but I am allowed to just smile and nod occasionally instead of listening to her, so I guess it's a good trade off. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou are an excellent observer of human communication!
ReplyDeleteThe eyes are the silent che at my house. If I continue on my current path, the shit will hit the fan.
ReplyDeleteI laughed and laughed so much at this. This sound may also be accompanied by the motion of a zipped lip but I really wouldn't know...
ReplyDeleteHi Joeh,
ReplyDeleteI think I know what you mean - but I break the rules and che che che che che Mrs PM constantly.
This is why I have permanent bruises.
:o)
Cheers
PM
In my defense, I have to do the che che che che che because Ray will never fail to start telling me what to say to whomever I may be on the phone with. It's annoying as hell.
