Ghost toast

Used to express the opinion or knowledge that a statement or belief is incorrect or purely lies. Often used as a playful and polite substitute for shouting 'bullshit'. This originates from my mothers' explanation about the smell of toast in and around her home. It turns out that her new neighbours are spreading the notion that, because the street is built overlooking a British civil war battleground, the smell of toast is a remnant of the troops cooking breakfast before the battle a few hundred years in the past. In essence, the smell is described as being 17th century civil war ghost toast.
