- NEW!

Probably from some really pissed off guy who wanted the object of his ire to stop talking and also to eat, or swallow, his/her words. I was really angry once at a loud mouthed idiot and he wouldn't shut up. I grew more and more angry. I had to fight the impulse to grab him by the throat with one hand and ram my fist down his throat to make him stop spewing his hateful words.
I actually just walked away and divorced him soon after. But I still think a situation like this is what started that saying. Don't you?
