How it's used
This phrase is used to shut down someone who is being overly talkative, complaining, or making excuses. It carries a sharp, dismissive tone and is typically reserved for close friends or family members when patience has run out. Unlike standard requests for silence, this specifically targets the content of the speech as being trivial or unwanted.
Examples
Stop talking already, you're being so noisy.
He's still going on with his nonsense, it's really annoying.

stop talking nonsense
Common mistake
Do not mistake the literal meaning of the characters for a request to speak less; it is an idiomatic command to stop talking entirely because the listener finds the current topic or tone irritating.
