1 definition by adammcarth
The promulgation of falsity, especially through pretentious misrepresentation or deception of a truth.
1. "My car just drove on water!"
Bullshit. This person's car obviously didn't drive "on" water. They may have, perhaps, driven through a small puddle on the road and therefore gone on to make this claim to spark further interest in their otherwise dull story.
2. "Tom made, like, 5 trillion dollars from his website last year."
Bullshit. Assuming that the statement was not said out of sarcasm (ie - Tom is actually broke), the aim here was to exaggerate Tom's revenue so that the audience become aware that Tom made a lot of money from his website.
3. "Jack is as sick as a dog at the moment."
Bullshit. What a profound claim to make, considering it is impossible to know what it is like to be a dog, let alone a sick one. This person has no intention of lying, but their claim about Jack is entirely irrational.
4. Sincerity.
Bullshit.
