Brewer's: Pipe

Anglo-Saxon pip, a pipe or flute.

Put that into your pipe and smoke it.
Digest that, if you can. An expression used by one who has given an adversary a severe rebuke. The allusion is to the pipes of peace and war smoked by the American Indians.

Put your pipe out.
Spoil your piping or singing; make you sing another tune, or in another key. “Take your shine out” has a similar force.

As you pipe, I must dance.
I must accommodate myself to your wishes. To pipe your eye. To snivel; to cry.
