tommyrot
Complete foolish drivel
Tommyrot is nonsense or foolish talk—something utterly without merit or sense.
The word sounds old-fashioned and slightly comic, the kind of dismissal a Victorian gentleman might deliver: That's absolute tommyrot and you know it.
It carries less heat than bullshit but the same judgment.
