Poppycock, n; foolishness, nonsense, baloney, bunk, hokum; poppycock is the antithesis of truth.
Poppycock is viewed by many as a gourmet treat, which blends popcorn, caramel and nuts. Howard Vair, proprietor of a small specialty candy store in Detroit is credited with the creation. Legend has it Howard created poppycock clusters over 50 years ago as a snack to take along on tedious road trips through the mid-west.
It is unknown why Vair called it poppycock, perhaps that it was a nonsensical use of popcorn.
