mom, your BS meter might be broken, but mine works just fine.
BS (or bullshit) means nonsense, usually deceptive nonsense.
예문 You come home very late. Your mother asks "Why did you come home late?"
You say, "I was helping my friend with his homework."
Your mother knows you're lying.
She says, "That's BS! What were you really doing?"
A "BS meter" means a person's ability to know when another person is saying something that isn't true. The mother in the above example has a good BS meter.
N.B. BS (or bullshit) can also be a verb: Your friend says "I was at McDonald's last night and Elvis Presley came in and ordered four Big Macs." You say, "You're BSing me! Elvis is dead!"
