... to me `lips shut' implies someone who won't tell something. Or who has
been instructed not to tell. Consulting my Yiddish dictionary I find that
`lip' is an anatomical term for lip if that makes sense - that is (I think)
more like `rim' - not to be instantly associated with the things on our
mouth. `Schutz' I couldn't find the meaning of - any Red Sea Pedestrians
out there know what it literally translates as?
If you want to get a little gross about it, the name could also imply
frigidity. But maybe I've been reading too much Bloomsbury set stuff lately
