crapola

Worthless junk, slang

Crapola is an emphatic, playful variant of crap—nonsense, rubbish, or worthless material.

The faux-Italian suffix adds mock grandeur to something decidedly ungrand: I'm not buying that crapola.

It's mildly vulgar but often used for comic effect, softening the coarseness of its root word.
