Today's word: שטויות ומיץ עגבניות

שטויות ומיץ עגבניות
This one is intangible so I’m not sure how to describe it; basically: That’s crap – even more than crap.
Commonwealthies can substitute ‘crap’ for ‘rubbish’.
Literally it means: Crap(rubbish) and tomato juice. The ‘tomato juice’ emphasizes the ridiculousness of the whole thing.
Anyway, I bring it up because, though I learned this one early on in my aliyah, today my Professor of linguistics and philosophy used it while discussing John Searle‘s concept of speech acts… and I don’t know if those two things will ever be mentioned in the same sentence ever again.
