tripe
In its culinary sense, the word refers to a specific offal product. It is typically treated as an uncountable mass noun when referring to the food item in general, though it can be used countably when referring to specific types or servings of the dish.
When used to describe speech or writing, the term is highly pejorative and informal. It suggests not just a lack of truth, but a lack of quality or intellectual value, often implying that the content is tedious or absurdly foolish. In this figurative sense, it is almost always uncountable.
