"Ferme(z) la bouche!" = shut your mouth(s) - not too unfriendly
"Tais-toi/taisez vous" = be quiet - a bit stronger
"Ta gueule!" - that's really bad, and should be kept for utter emergencies.

Ferme le bouche should do it. Shut the mouth.

Is it also: taisez-vous?
(from: se taire.... reflexive verb meaning to be silent ... a little more polite than "close your mouth!" - fermez la bouche)

Voulez-vous couchet avec moi.
Do not speak with me. That's the most eloquent way to say shut up in French.

'Fermi la bush' I think, not sure if spelling is correct - long time since studying French!
