Loud flipping kid I order to be quiet (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

garish

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'loud' is the definition.
(I know that loud can be written as garish)

'flipping kid i order to be quiet' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'i' could be 'a' and 'a' is present in the answer.
'quiet' could be 'sh' (both can be said to tell someone to be quiet) and 'sh' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for garish that I've seen before include "Vulgarly colourful" , "Bright and showy" , "Obtrusively bright" , "Colourful in a vulgar manner" , "Overly ostentatious" .)
