Yes, “en boca cerrada no entran moscas” is very funny. It would be in a literal translation into English, something like “ In a close mouth, flies don’t go in” (lol! Sure you would translate it better than me).
I wonder which idiom could correspond in English.

There’s another idiom in English I find a little rude. lol
Scaring the crap/ the $hit out of someone. lol!
