Hi everyone,
This is from a North African text.
Does it mean shit/rubbish?
The context is a manager saying this to his employee, as he's not happy with his work.
إذن، ابحث عن شغل آخر وكفانا هذه الوبنة
Thanks!

1- Stop being a faggot / a fag.....OR 2- Cut the crap
It is a pejorative term simply meaning: sleeping around with other men, and being on the receiving end of it.
That is the speaker is accusing the listener of being a "fag" or a "faggot".
Now, how to translate it depends on a number of factors. You can simply use the term "fag" or "faggot", or may be if you think that the intended meaning is simply asking the interlocutor to be more serious about an issue or something, then may be you can use the expression "cut the crap!", and as such you keep to the kind of language or register of that context.
