Morphology

feed + mee + that + bullplop

The construction 'feed me that …' is compositionally transparent (give/tell me that), so the syntax and pragmatic function are clear to a learner who knows 'feed', 'me', and 'that'. However 'bullplop' is an informal, nonce slang compound whose meaning ('nonsense/lie') is not directly derivable from the literal meanings of its parts without knowledge of the slang use of 'bull' for 'nonsense', so the overall phrase is only partially predictable.

Etymology

Feed me that bullplop gives a clear picture: someone is trying to feed you bullplop, a rude mix of 'bull' and the soft 'plop' that makes you think of animal poop, so you picture refusing it. That's why it means 'to tell someone nonsense or lies' or 'to try to trick someone'.
