Used as a singular phrase meaning 'rubbish, nonsense,' this expression was first recorded in an 1827 issue of the British newspaper The Times.

Mother's Day
Katy is leaving tonight to spend the weekend at a Ren Faire, with her mother, and Sean will be joining them on Sunday, so I won't be seeing them.
Thursday nights are usually family dinner nights at our house. Last night was one of them.
Imagine my surprise when Sean showed up with a card and gift for me. Seems he and Katy had conspired with Tod to make sure dinner would be happening so that they could give me a Mother's day present: a card that's sweet but not too
mushy, and a photo album for our Ireland trip.
Since each of us has a digital camera, we'll be taking lots of pictures, and they thought we should have a special album for them.
Katy said that though I'm not their biological mother, I'm certainly a "mother-like" figure.
Three years ago, these kids weren't sure if they wanted to be in the same room as I. Things certainly have changed. Thank goodness!
