codswallop (KODZ-wol-uhp) noun Nonsense. [Of unknown origin. According to a popular story, a fellow named Hiram Codd came up with the design of a soft-drink bottle with a marble in its neck to keep the fizz. Wallop was slang for beer and those who preferred alcohalic drinks dismissively referred to the soft-drink as Codd's Wallop. This story is unproven.] Read/Post Comments (2) Previous Entry :: Next Entry Back to Top |
