Baloney is a kind of sausage that many Americans eat often. The word also has another（有点儿太偏啊了，ə-'nə-thər） meaning in English. It is used to describe（是ai，不够饱满） something – usually（有点儿off） something someone says – that is false or wrong or foolish.

Baloney sausage comes from the name of the Italian city, Bologna. The city is famous for its sausage, a mixture of smoked, spiced（好像有点不够饱满） meat from cows and pigs. But, boloney sausage does not taste the same as beef or pork alone.
