People shout it to abruptly silence someone, mimicking the over-the-top authority of that TV moment.
Where does the “Be quiet!” meme come from?
The clip comes from a debate on the show “Catalunya opina” on Canal Català, where Santiago Espot, passionately defending the memory of president Companys, demanded silence by repeating “Calli!”. Catalan satirical show APM? (Alguna Pregunta Més?) later featured the clip among its compilations of notable TV moments. Since then, the shout is imitated across Catalonia as a blunt way to cut someone off mid-sentence.
