If someone around you is saying nonsense or acting stupidly, you can say "Arrête tes conneries !".
This is familiar and, depending on the situation, it might get perceived as "kidding" but also criticism.
If you say it to tease a close friend about something, he/she will probably laugh about it. But if you say it to someone you barely know and with an aggressive tone, people won't react the same way, so be careful when you use this one.
