Morphology
pure + bullsheet
This phrase is a euphemistic respelling of the slang word 'bullshit' meaning 'nonsense' or 'false information'. The literal constituents 'bull' and 'sheet' (even combined with 'pure' as an intensifier) do not transparently yield that meaning; recognizing it requires knowledge of colloquial taboo vocabulary and orthographic wordplay, so a B1 learner who only knows the literal parts would not reliably infer the intended sense.
Etymology
Pure bullsheet is a polite twist on bullshit: people keep bull but change the rude shit to sheet so it sounds cleaner. The word pure makes the idea stronger, so pure bullsheet means 'complete nonsense' or 'not true'.
