Ben Bull

Ben Bull is a colloquial British English phrase, primarily heard in the North of England, used to describe nonsensical or untruthful statements. It is synonymous with terms like "rubbish," "nonsense," "balderdash," or "lies." The origin of the phrase is uncertain, but it is believed to be a rhyming slang variation of "bullshit," with "Ben" rhyming with "ten" to create a substitution. The phrase is generally considered informal and somewhat vulgar, though less offensive than its root word. The frequency of its usage has decreased over time, particularly amongst younger generations.
