Shut Up
I know it seems very banal but this word has many meanings and uses. Many of the uses are not "rude", so I think it is a good candidate. Although, the use that brought it to mind is a famous line "Shut up Eccels!!"

eat less, chew more;
whine less, breathe more;
talk less, say more,
and all good things will be yours.

Well if it was used on The Goon Show, it can't be all bad!
The phrase is sometimes used in the sense of, "No way!", "You're kidding!", etc.
Because my kids are much to likely to use it in the sense of "Stifle Edith", I try to discourage them from using the phrase at all. (As if I have a snowball's chance in hell of succeeding in this!)

Shut up Man, kids listen to you. I'm sure a snowball exist in Hell, what would they torture those poor souls with. There is no ice water...
If you can't control your kids perhaps they could use being shut up in a closet until they are ready to go to work?
