bilge, rot, tripe, jive, jazz, hokum, prattle, twaddle, hot air, blather, hogwash, hooey, tosh, bunk, and bushwa
I got a treat doing this, especially since I had written a post in January about the nonsense that some folks write in their blogs (including yours truly at times) and send in forwarded emails.
One blogger on the Rexwordpuzzle site added some more words meaning 'nonsense', thereby saving me the trouble of looking them up. Who knew there were so many ways to say basically nothing?
applesauce, balderdash, balls, baloney, bollocks, bosh, bull, bullshit, buncombe, bunkum,
cobblers, double dutch, drivel, eyewash, fiddle faddle, garbage, gibberish, gobbledygook,
guff, horse feathers, jabberwocky, malarkey, moonshine, mumbo jumbo, pants, pap,
piffle, poppycock, rhubarb, rubbish, tomfoolery, tommyrot, trash, and waffle
That person must have been English. Three of those words are the English slang for male genitalia.
ReplyDeleteNever done a crossword like that, sounds fun. Never heard of bushw
Male genitalia? Really? I had no idea. Bushwa was the hardest one for me to get.
ReplyDeleteBalls, bollocks and cobblers are the three English ones.
ReplyDeleteI saw another word for nonsense in a xword today - claptrap
ReplyDeleteForgot that one, tosh is another.
