Baloney is a kind of sausage that many Americans 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 or foolish.
Baloney sausage comes from the name of the Italian(a bit off?) city, Bologna. The city is famous for its sausage, a mixture of smoked(没发d?), spiced meat from cows and pigs. But, boloney sausage does not taste the same as beef or pork alone.
