Bull gravy carries three distinct American meanings. In Texas culinary usage it refers to cream gravy — the white flour-thickened gravy made from pan drippings, a staple of Southern cooking. As general slang it means nonsense or bullshit — verbal rubbish dressed up as substance. A cruder third sense refers to semen. The culinary sense is the most broadly accessible; the nonsense sense is colourful and useful; the three meanings occupy very different registers and context determines which is meant.
