What is the polite way of asking someone say in a movie or Internet to be quiet?

When I was at a drinking party and a bunch of us were really drunk one friend (very joking) told another - hope pak (stop mouth) and then hope lin (stop your tongue). I understand these especially the latter to be fairly in your face.

What does 'hope' literally mean and is there any connection to the Khmer (Rouge's) expression kynom (I) "hoap" bye (eat rice)

I think there's also JOO (h) JOO (h) จุ๊ จุ๊ which means shush! but may be taken as impolite especially if used to strangers.
