Poppycock

Logic would dictate that the word ‘poppycock’ would have something to do with either poppies or cockerels, but it is actually an informal word which essentially means ‘nonsense’. Despite sounding extremely British, it was first used in America during the 19th century and likely stems from the Dutch word ‘pappekak’ (‘soft faeces’).
