Homer Simpson would indeed call it so as he did call the garage the car hole. Nevertheless think about that"shut your" portion. Do we not try to teach our children how not to be rude? So much for the decline of manners And the rise of disrespect Just look at the caliber of tv shows What a jolt in reality! Would you not think your mouth is the “hole” where you put your pie?

Homer Simpson would indeed call it so as he did call the garage the car hole.

Nevertheless think about that”shut your” portion.

Do we not try to teach our children how not to be rude?

So much for the decline of manners
And the rise of disrespect
Just look at the caliber of tv shows
What a jolt in reality!

It is ceramic and has a hole in it, allowing steam to escape from the pie when it is cooking. We were served a large home made meat pie tonight at dinner, with a pie hole in it.

It may refer to the whole in the cnter of a fruit pie to allow steam to vent. “Pie hole” may not originally had anything to do with the mouth eating cake or pie or pastrami.
