Etymology
Bullshitter combines bull ('nonsense', as in 'that's bull') with -shitter (a rude ending for a person who makes a mess); a helpful way to remember it is to imagine someone confidently making a 'mess' of the truth by inventing stories, which is why a bullshitter is a person who talks without caring whether they are truthful.
