Quiz drop for the day [Apr 16th]

RFC269 was the first to use this word. The word owes its origins to comic strips and cartoons of the 30’s. A very early version of Daffy duck holds up a sign saying "Silence is X".

Perhaps the earliest documented use was in a cartoon strip about a nutty fireman. This appeared in various american comics between the 30’s and 50’s and frequented the license plate of cars and nonsensical phrases.

What word?
