bologna

Sliced deli circle

Bologna is a seasoned smoked sausage made from finely ground meat, typically beef and pork.

In American usage, it's the familiar pink lunch meat sliced for sandwiches: a bologna and cheese sandwich.

The word is often spelled and pronounced "baloney." Separately, bologna is slang for nonsense or lies: That's a load of bologna—though "baloney" is the more common spelling for this sense. (Capitalized Bologna is the Italian city.)
