A clean-ish American euphemism for bullshit — used when you want to call out nonsense, lies, or total garbage without dropping the actual profanity. Bullpucky keeps the dismissive punch of its ruder cousin while staying marginally more polite, making it popular in workplaces, around kids, or on TV where language gets monitored. If someone's feeding you a load of excuses that don't hold up, bullpucky is your all-weather, broadcast-safe way to say so.

The contractor claimed the delay was weather-related, but we all knew it was pure bullpucky.
Origin: A minced oath substituting 'pucky' (likely from 'puck', an animal dropping) for 'shit', following the pattern of American euphemisms like 'baloney' and 'hogwash'. Editorial expansion authored on Slangora.
