Word of the day - Poppycock

Poppycock is a funny English word that means nonsense. Many people think it is British, but it actually started in America. The word came from an old Dutch term and slowly changed its meaning. Today, poppycock is used in daily life to call out false stories, silly excuses, or statements with no facts.
