An example I'm particularly fond of is water-cooler talk, the kind of casual bull session one has about the news, sports, or office gossip with one's colleagues: often during such casual chats, we don't care about whether what we're saying is true or false.

In his essay On Bullshit (originally written in 1986, and published as a monograph in 2005), philosopher Harry Frankfurt of Princeton University characterizes bullshit as a form of falsehood distinct from lying. The liar, Frankfurt holds, knows and cares about the truth, but deliberately sets out to mislead instead of telling the truth. The "bullshitter", on the other hand, does not care about the truth and is only seeking to impress: Frankfurt connects this analysis of bullshit with Ludwig Wittgenstein's disdain of "non-sense" talk, and with the popular concept of a "bull session" in which speakers may try out unusual views without commitment. He fixes the blame for the prevalence of "bullshit" in modern society upon anti-realism and upon the growing frequency of situations in which people are expected to speak or have opinions without appropriate knowledge of the subject matter.

A phraseme is an idiom if its meaning is not the predictable sum of the meanings of its component—that is, if it is non-compositional. Generally speaking, idioms will not be intelligible to people hearing them for the first time without having learned them. Consider the following examples (an idiom is indicated by elevated half-brackets: ˹ … ˺): : ˹rock and roll˺ ‘a Western music genre characterised by a strong beat with sounds generated by guitar, piano, and vocalists’ : ˹cheek by jowl˺ ‘in close association’ : ˹the game is up˺ ‘your deceit is exposed’ : ˹[X] comes to [NX’s] senses˺ ‘X becomes conscious again’ : ˹put [NY] on the map˺ ‘make the place Y well-known’ : ˹bull session˺ ‘long informal talk on a subject by a group of people’ In none of these cases are the meanings of any of the component parts of the idiom included in the meaning of the expression as a whole. An idiom can be further characterized by its transparency, the degree to which its meaning includes the meanings of its components.
