Telling a laptop to shut down is very different from telling it to shut up or just shut. Shutting a laptop doesn't shut it down (at least, not by default).
Shutting it does shut you out though, at least until you unshut it.
Not if it’s plugged into a peripheral hub
Stupid fast boot.
Shutting down a laptop also makes it shut up!
If I close the laptop by lifting the bottom instead of lowering the top, is that also "shutting it 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."
Welcome to the wonderful world of phrasal verbs, idioms, and collocations.
We talking about the verb or the noun? I also have been look at the word "shut" too long and now it looks weird
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.
Lay off the ganja, man
A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
