be full of baloney

To be not at all sincere, genuine, or trustworthy. "Baloney" in this sense might have originated from the word "blarney," which means flattering or nonsensical talk; more usually it refers to bologna sausage, which is blended from different meats, therefore implying content of inferior or dubious quality. A: "Frank said he would quit if the boss spoke to him again like that." B: "Oh, that Frank's so full of baloney. He wouldn't have the guts to quit." The politician swears that she is passionate about making a difference in the world, but I think she's full of baloney. She wants power, just like the rest of 'em! You're going to give me $5,000 if I sign the lease today? Yeah, you're full of baloney.
