full of shit

Spouting pure nonsense

Full of shit describes someone who is lying, exaggerating, or speaking nonsense.

The phrase dismisses what someone says as worthless—the verbal equivalent of excrement: He says he dated a supermodel? He's full of shit.

It can also characterize someone as fundamentally dishonest or self-deluded: Politicians are full of shit.

Vulgar but extremely common.
