Horsepoop is an American euphemism with two related uses: as a substitute for 'horseshit' meaning nonsense or rubbish (avoiding the stronger term), and literally for horse manure. The softening of 'shit' to 'poop' makes the term milder and more appropriate for contexts where stronger language would be unsuitable. The nonsense sense carries the same exasperated dismissive energy as 'bullshit' but with a tamer edge, suitable for situations where the speaker wants to express disbelief without full vulgarity.

(US, euphemism) Bullshit; nonsense.
Bullpoop is a clean, family-safe swap for 'bullshit' — used when someone wants to call out nonsense, lies, or absurd claims without actual profanity. It carries all the dismissive energy of the original phrase while remaining broadly acceptable in mixed company, around children, or in situations where swearing would be inappropriate. The 'poop' substitution is intentionally comic, which gives the word a slightly ridiculous quality that actually underlines how unworthy of serious engagement the nonsense in question is.
(literally) Horse feces / manure.
(US, euphemism) Horseshit; nonsense.
