B.S.
Lies dressed up
B.S. is an abbreviation for bullshit—nonsense, lies, or insincere talk: That's complete B.S.
The initialism serves as a polite substitute in contexts where spelling out the profanity would be inappropriate.
B.S. also stands for Bachelor of Science, the undergraduate degree: She got her B.S. in biology.
