my eye
That's pure nonsense!
My eye is an exclamation of disbelief or dismissal, rejecting what someone has just said as false or ridiculous: Innocent, my eye—he knew exactly what he was doing.
The phrase is mildly old-fashioned, softer than stronger dismissals like "my ass." It often echoes a word from the claim being rejected: A bargain, my eye!
