Nope. Type 1 diabetic.

Balderdash.... More likely sucked up a lot of Vodka to mess up the
Medical exam. Naw! You are a non-patriot draft evader! Shame on you!!

"Balderdash"? Is that anything like "Glory be!"?


"Balderdash"

Earliest know use 1674

Synonyms:
applesauce [slang], nonsense, baloney (also boloney), beans, bilge,
blah (also blah-blah), blarney, blather

Use:
"a combat veteran himself, he could not believe the balderdash he was
hearing from whippersnappers with no war experience at all"

Well, fiddlesticks. And fie on the whippensnappers.

Ah, but it isn't whippen... it is whipper... :-)

whippersnapper ~ noun
1. someone who is unimportant but cheeky and presumptuous

Apparently the earliest usage was in the 1670's and lo and behold, the
term still appears to be still pertinent. Right here on Usenet :-)
