a lot of bunk

Nonsense or insincerity. Bunk is an abbreviation of the Americanism "bunkum," meaning insincere, empty talk, or disingenuous political talk meant merely to please a target audience. Primarily heard in US. In my opinion, most of what a politician promises during a campaign is just a lot of bunk. The plumber said it would cost $800 to fix the toilet? What a lot of bunk! Personally, I think the notion of "love at first sight" is a lot of bunk.
