Ugh! A putdown with a hint of absurdity, say? Embarrassed, we don't want to hear any more (2,4,3,4,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

go away and shut up

'we don't want to hear any more' is the definition.

'ugh a putdown with a hint of absurdity say? embarrassed' is the wordplay.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'hint of' says to take the initial letters.
'embarrassed' is an anagram indicator (I've seen this in other clues).
The initial letter of 'absurdity' is 'a'.
'ugh'+'putdown'+'a'+'a'+'say'='ughputdownaasay'
'ughputdownaasay' anagrammed gives 'GO AWAY AND SHUT UP'.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
