English term or phrase: No more messing around!
Something said to children when they are procrastinating or trying to play when they should be doing something else, e.g. "No more messing around! Get your coat on and let's go!"
Other versions: "Stop fooling around!" "Stop messing around!" "Enough nonsense!"
"Stop clowning around!"; they're all used interchangeably.
