bilge water
Ship's bottom liquid
Bilge water is the foul water that collects in the lowest part of a ship's hull, where it mixes with oil, grease, and debris.
The bilge is the curved area where the bottom meets the sides.
Figuratively, bilge water means nonsense or worthless talk: That explanation is pure bilge water.
