The way I understand bullshit is not the shit of a bull but a derogative way of saying nonesense (like speaking bullshit). I have no idea how to say shit of a bull in Chleweyish or Hangkerimce, but the world in Chleweyish for the later is _gassya_ (pronounced /'gaSSa/) and to speak bullshit is _gassyi_ (_gassye_ in present aorist). -- Carlos Th
