Word of the Day: Codswallop
You've probably heard the word, but what does it mean?
codswallop: (n.) nonsensical talk or writing; bull, bunkum, bosh, fiddle-faddle, flapdoodle, hogwash, horse feathers, hooey, hokum, malarkey, poppycock, tommy-rot, whang-doodle, balderdash, piffle, rubbish, baloney, bilgewater, blather, blither, falderal, "the stuff they feed fools on," or common, everyday windbaggery.
Surely, other synonyms spring to mind...
