A word with no true definition. This word used to be a substitute for the expletive bullshit but the word has not been commonly used since the mid forties and has only recently spiked popularity somewhat (most likely because the Ngram viewer isn't very accurate). because of its age, obscurity, and the fact it has the word cock in it, anyone who says this word looks like a complete nincompoop therefore it will be used less and less until it is in nobodies vocabulary such as the words ROFL or floccinaucinihilipilification and soon enough Nincompoop as well
some may argue that because of the absurd pronunciation of the word it will return or make a comeback and honestly a world where all my friends and family say poppycock regularly is a world I don't want to live in, and frankly one I fear

Take a step outside the city
And turn around
Take a look at what you are
It is revolting
You're really nowhere
So wasteful
So foolish
Poppycock
