What does horse around mean?
When someone is bragging and I find that to be a little annoying, can I say: "Stop horsing around!" to him? Thanks a lot.

"Horsing around" means "playing around", "screwing around", or "messing around". As for your question, yes I think "stop horsing around" could be used in that context, however it's more often used when someone is being silly or playful. It depends on the context and what tone you use. If you want to sound slightly teasing when telling him off, and not mean, then "stop horsing around!" would probably work best.

@Amech both can do. “Horse around” can HAVE physical contact involved and can also NOT HAVE physical contact involved. (:
