Definition

British slang for absolute nonsense or rubbish, delivered with the kind of verbal flourish that makes insults sound sophisticated. Perfect for when "that's BS" lacks the Victorian-era charm you're going for. Bonus points if you say it with a monocle.

Example Usage

He said he could finish the entire project by Monday? That's complete codswallop.
