Shut it down. Shutting down.
(Shutting up?)

Shutdown is one word though.
There’s so many grammatical definitions for both words I feel like there is a logical combination that makes it not redundant. With that being said they do both have I wanna say the same transitional verb definitions but both might be post-derivstive of “shut down.”
That depends on the direction of the opening. Shut up means basically the same thing as shut down, but the hinged part operates in the opposite direction.
Yeah, just shut works for either. It’s less so redundancy and more specificity.
If you think about it, there’s only meaning with a frame of reference. Shutting up or shutting down could be nonsensical in the Void, as many things would be, I imagine.
Shut the door, or close the window. Which came first, Doors or Windows?.. 🤔
Depends. If a room just has a hole in the wall, is it still a doorway?
No, that’s the urinal silly!
So if I just kick a hole in a wall at a friends house, it’s ok to pee into it as well?
Doors and corners kid
And I think you shut up a mountain cabin.
Welcome to the wonderful world of phrasal verbs, idioms, and collocations.
I’m into this. And the corollary. “Shit out” is redundant. Shit it out. Shitting out.
(Shitting in?) Makes sense in one context, but that’s a completely different context than that which shitting out is typically used.
We talking about the verb or the noun? I also have been look at the word “shut” too long and now it looks weird
Lay off the ganja, man
