Bullshit in other languages
Could the corresponding term in German be "Quatsch"? As in "quatschen" = talking bullshit, bullshitting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.199.176.37 (talk) 10:05, 8 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Quatsch is perhaps synonymous, but it comes from a dialect word meaning cabbage, so it's not similarly scatological. Wegesrand (talk) 17:24, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

I cut the German Bockmist because it's not equivalent: it refers to having done something badly (Bockmist gebaut), not to verbiage. Wegesrand (talk) 17:24, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Scientific study about why some people buy BS
This might be relevant to this bullshit article (lol!), or perhaps to others on Wikipedia.

Here is the original study

and here is some coverage it got in the media

I hope this is helpful! Sarr Cat ∑;3 01:32, 3 December 2015 (UTC)

'although "bullshit" is more common'
I'm not sure about that, I'm English and only hear bullshit from Americans, and hear bollocks quite regularly. I would suggest removing that sentence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TraitorBagel (talk • contribs) 13:03, 8 December 2015 (UTC)


 * I would suggest removing the whole sentence. It is unsupported and doesn't add anything useful. --Boson (talk) 16:22, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
