[Cicero]

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

[LoveUSA]

I prefer the word crap

It gets the job done without any false dignity. : /

[Tax-chick]

Well, now. That’s very interesting! I may have to substitute “poppycock” for more contemporary scatological exclamations, and move “balderdash,” “bilge,” and “hogwash” down the list.

Good for Rick!
