短释义
Sometimes guff is defined as “lies,” but it can also be simply ridiculous ideas or speech. Your teacher might dismiss your excuse for being late to class by saying, “That story’s just a bunch of guff!” The informal guff gets its sense of “empty talk” from its original meaning, “puff of air.” An unrelated but interesting kind of guff is the Scottish meaning, “an unpleasant smell.”
胡言乱语是一种愚蠢的行为——指的是你的行为或说话方式毫无意义或令人反感。你可能会认为一篇有争议的文章是一堆废话,从而驳回它。
