Particularly, it doesn't mean "come to a Marcelo> final resolution". Well, without looking it up that "come to a resolution" was what I took it to mean.[1] I think "Shit or get off the pot" is a more vulgar variation. ;-) And looking through the web, I found http://www.shu.ac.uk/web-admin/phrases/bulletin_board/2/messages/15.html, which also mentions "Make a choice now; either fish or cut bait and go home."
