Morphology

bullcrap = bull + crap (semi-transparent) = bull + crap

Meaning 'nonsense' is directly built from two coarse nouns, but the slang register and metaphorical intensification make the compound somewhat informal and context-dependent.

Etymology

Bullcrap comes from joining bull and crap, originally meaning 'bull dung', and so it became a rude way to call something 'nonsense' or a lie. That's why calling something bullcrap means you think it is untrue or worthless.
