Definition of baloney

chuyện vớ vẩn

/bəˈləʊni//bəˈləʊni/

Over time, the term "baloney" took on a different connotation. In the mid-19th century, it began to be used to describe something that is considered foolish, absurd, or nonsensical. This usage is thought to have originated from the idea that some people might be accepting of dubious claims or misinformation, much like someone who would eat a questionable meat like baloney. Today, "baloney" is often used as a slang term to dismiss or mock something that is considered false, misleading, or ridiculous.
