I prefer “balderdash,” myself, but any historic invective is welcomed. I’d love to see someone call Zero a “craven caitiff.”

Ah, I just looked the word up, and it's harsher than it might first seem.

Merriam Webster says:

Origin of POPPYCOCK

Dutch dialect pappekak, literally, soft dung, from Dutch pap pap + kak dung

First Known Use: 1865

“Flapdoodle” might work also.

I like Col. Potterisms like "horse hockey" or "buffalo bisquets".
