If someone around you is talking way too much and you want this person to stop, you can say "Arrête ton baratin !". Beware that it's familiar and, depending on the situation, it might get perceived as "kidding" but also aggressive 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.
