Trivia: Which word means nonsense?
Meldrop
Poppycock
Obelus
Sozzle
The correct answer is Poppycock
So why is this answer correct? : There are two popular origin stories for the word “poppycock,” which means nonsense — and they’re both Dutch. The first claims the word originated from “pappekak,” a compound Dutch word meaning excrement. The second version traces the origin to the word “poppekak,” another excrement reference, though this time in reference to excrement from a doll; what could be more nonsensical than doll poop? Whichever story is true, the word has since evolved to mean utter nonsense.
