Belt up

Do Americans use 'belt up' meaning 'shut up'?

I was sure I poster this last night, but can't find it. I apologise if it's a repeat post.

Hi Tdol,

I have never heard this one. 'Zip up' or 'zip it' is used quite often. Is it used in BE?

In Canada, we don't usually use "belt up" we usually use shut up, be quiet, zip it.
"belt up", sounds like buckling the :) seatbelt

I already heard it, thought it was only BE.
