A bunkum is another word for meaningless talk. A synonym would be chicken squawk. It often would consist of women sitting outside on their porch talking nonsense.

The word "bunkum" is believed to have originated from an 1820s speech by U.S. Representative Felix Walker. He made a long, irrelevant speech that he claimed was important to his North Carolina constituents, from Buncombe County. This led to the term "buncombe," later shortened to "bunkum," meaning empty talk or nonsense.

The origin of bunkum is mid 19th century (originally buncombe): named after Buncombe County in North Carolina, mentioned in a speech made by its congressman solely to please his constituents (c.1820).
