This phrase, when used by certain men, expresses an unconscious wish: 'I see a beautiful woman and wish that she be dumb (voiceless)'. Voice or intelligence often symbolizes the phallus. The phrase therefore reassures the man that the beautiful woman is not the phallic mother and permits him to have sexual feelings toward her.
