Definition - used to tell someone to stop talking.
Shut your pie hole may not be apt for most academic writing.
This euphonious idiom is first found in Stephen King’s 1983 novel Christine. However, this use is preceded by a similar turn of phrase, shut your cake-hole; in both cases referring apparently to the mouth, through which one might ingest either cake or pie.
