   Coordinate term: chitterlings

   • 1932, Clarence Budington Kelland, Speak Easily, spoken by Stage Director (Sidney Toler):

     No, I'm not kidding. Professor, Broadway stands for a lot of baloney; but, it will never digest a piece of tripe like this!

   • 1984, Dan Aykroyd; Harold Ramis, Ghostbusters, spoken by Dean Yeager (Jordan Charney):

     We believe that the purpose of science is to serve mankind. You, however, seem to regard science as some kind of dodge… or hustle. Your theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, your methods are sloppy, and your conclusions are highly questionable! You are a poor scientist, Dr. Venkman!
