It’s an expression meaning:
“Stop talking”
But in a playful manner.
For example, someone is telling you something interesting and you say
“Hold the phone.”
It means that you’re telling the person the stop talking but in a manner that means that you’re very much interested in what the person is saying.
If you don’t understand, just state it and I’ll explain more.😊

@olarundachinda if I’m very much interested in what the person said, why I would say “hold the phone (stop talking)”????

@dumbest_demon I don’t know why the expression was created either😂.
But you know how in some movies a character would be talking to another character and they’d say
“Shut up.....shut up....shut up...” it’s something like that. It’s not serious, it’s just like a joke.
For more information watch this:

But start the clip from 00:17. Its a scene from a movie called Mean girls.

@olarundachinda I just saw the clips , i would take that “shut up shut up” as “ no way no way “ that seems more logical.... I kind of understand why we say that way ! Thank you 😊
