I heard the same thing as OP and must say I was taken aback......can't remember who said it, but it shouldn't have been said.

Not reading anything into it. Shut the front door is a nice way of saying: shut the **** up. Just as suspected, most here dont know this.

@HULAGIRL Thanks. PS sorry for the blank response above. Sometimes when I attempt to go to the next page in a thread (from my iPhone) it jumps to the "post" button and posts a blank response.

It might indeed mean that in some contexts. But as I posted from Urban Dictionary, it also means an utterance of amazement.

"Shut the front door!" and "Get out of town!" are both slang for something hard to believe. Remember when Elaine used to shove Jerry and the other guys on Seinfeld and shout, "Get OUT!"? Someone already touched on this, but there are folks here who try to make a problem when there is none. (A national cookie commercial - Oreos, I think - used "Shut the front door!" recently. I doubt the FCC would let someone use figurative language for STFU in a cookie commercial.)

Here comes the word police, now. They should be able to sort this out.

Was it used in the phrase "super freakin' out" item that someone likes to constantly say?

Also seems that you did not know the UD definition. I somehow can not perceive "shut the front door" as offensive as "shut the .... ". Just not in the same league.
