Totally depends on the context in which it is used.

"Shove a sock innit!" is more polite.

Quite rude ad aggressive. Not to be used, unless in jest. (or if you're an American teenager . . 'oh, shuuuut uuuup')

It's very rude and inappropriate.

I prefer Shut Your Yap. But even that is rude and inappropriate.

So imagine what you get when you say fcuk off

I Must say, shut up is quite rude, and provocation for sure!
Be quiet or shut the fcuk up is much better

or what about belt
up, shut ya gob, hold ya mouth and stick ya foot in it before i twat yer, much more intimate and loving responses

I think it is rude and unnecessary. Having said that, I remember telling my students that a sure way of knowing that I had reached the end of the rope then I would use 'shut up'. One student piped up and said that there was nothing wrong with saying 'shut up' as his dad said it all the time!

So I guess it comes down to how we were raised on how we feel about it.
