stuff and nonsense
Complete foolish talk
Stuff and nonsense is a dismissive exclamation rejecting something as foolish or untrue: Stuff and nonsense—he never said any such thing.
The phrase is old-fashioned and somewhat theatrical, often associated with Victorian speech or period fiction.
Both words mean roughly the same thing here, the doubling adding emphatic force.
