To form it, you hold your hands apart as if you are holding two very heavy balls. It implies that the other person has gone on so long that your testicles are about to explode. There is a ruder way of saying basta ("enough"), which is this gesture meaning Uffa che palle!, "Uggh, my balls!". It goes without saying that these shouldn't be used in more formal situations.
