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).
