horse cock

Military and blue-collar slang for complete nonsense or an absurd demand, typically used when someone in authority makes an unreasonable request. It's a colorful way to call BS without directly insubordinating yourself. The term conveys both disbelief and derision in two efficient syllables.

Example Usage
