I think it is used to talk about a "bad thing" that happened or is going to happen, more like an interjection.

worth shit --ain't worth shit

Not as literal as the other translation, but I think if the target country is the u.s. its probably more appropriate.

VALER VERGA

1. To be worth shit in the negative way. Also used to point that someone has no consideration at all.

#1: Esa fuckin perra me quemo a mi man, a mi!
#2: Esa guial vale verga...

#1: That fuckin bitch cheated on me man, on me!
#2: That girl is worth shit...

it would depend whether it's "vale verga" "no vale verga" "me vale verga", etc.

As an interjection it might be "what the fuck!"

e.g. in this example from Google: "Un poco tarde, pero vale verga, nunca es tarde" "It's a bit late, but what the fuck! it's never too late" (or "fuck it!")
