Is there a common, non-profane, synonym for bullshit? I can't think of another word that conveys the same mixture of useless, deceptive, meritless, propaganda.

While some may object to the use of profanity in a public space, I think such a reaction is fitting for the nature of bullshit. It SHOULD be repellent when invoked. A big, disgusting, load of crap that nobody should tolerate in their presence. I think bullshit captures the spirit of the term perfectly.
- jarjoura 5y ago"load of crap" seems like the perfect synonym to me. Less provocative of a title, but there's other words that can convey the same.
- reilly3000 5y agoHogwash Poppycock Nonsense Rubbish Ya none of these quite hit like Bullshit.
- BoxOfRain 5y ago"Bollocks" is a little less severe than "bullshit" in British English, but that word is still considered swearing by some. I agree that bullshit is the perfect word to describe the subject, it's a vulgar word because it causes a vulgar reaction when you experience it. Using a non-profane word would just dilute it.
