Thread Name: BS: On Bullshit
Subject: RE: BS: On Bullshit
In the UK we have bollocks, cobblers, twaddle, piffle, tripe, drivel and shit/shite, all of which can be utter, complete, profound, unadulterated, pointless, meaningless or occasionally barmy. There may well be more, and I apologise for any omissions. Bullshit, I think, was originally imported here from the U.S. but is now fairly commonplace, possibly thanks to the film/TV industry. "Springer" is a new one on me, but I can say with some certainty that bullocks, along with heifers, are fairly large creatures sporting a leg in each corner which live in fields - if they're lucky.
