| | A load of codswallop |
 | | Wallop is a slang term for beer, and beer drinkers would certainly be disdainful of bottled soft drinks. | | | The most widely quoted story has it that of Hiram Codd, an English soft drinks maker during the 1870s, who developed a technique for bottling lemonade. | | | It's not difficult to see how a soft drink in a Codd Bottle could have come to be called codswallop. |

| | AskOxford: What is the origin of the word 'codswallop'? |
| | Codswallop is not recorded until the mid-20th century, rather a long time after Codd's invention, and there are no examples of the spelling Codd's wallop, which might be expected as an early form. | | | The story goes that a gentleman by the name of Hiram Codd patented a bottle for fizzy drinks with a marble in the neck, which kept the bottle shut by pressure of the gas until it was pressed inwards. | | | AskOxford: What is the origin of the word 'codswallop'? |

| | Codswallop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Critics argue that this term, despite its popularity, is not likely to be the origin, as the first recorded use of "codswallop" was not until around the 1960s, over ninety years after the term for beer fell out of use. | | | The first etymology claims that the word derives from cods, an Anglo-Saxon term for testicles, combined with another word of Anglo-Saxon origin, wallop, meaning to scold or chastise (note that this wallop is not the same as the word wallop, meaning "hit"). | | | The word "codswallop", primarily a British English term meaning "nonsense", is of uncertain origin; there are two main schools of thought. |
