Baloney is a kind of sausage that many Americans（查一下字典，r发得不好，或者考古一下小千的r讲座） eat often. The word also has another meaning in English. It is used to describe something – usually something someone says – that is false or wrong（r没听到，建议查查字典）or foolish.
Baloney sausage comes from the name of the Italian city, Bologna. The city is famous for its sausage, a mixture of smoked（k没听到）， spiced meat from cows and pigs. But, boloney sausage does not taste the same as beef or pork（没听到r音，如果是美音的话） alone.
