It doesn’t seem that there is a direct link from ‘cock and bull’ to ‘bullshit’, meaning rubbish or nonsense, which is a 20th century US term. ‘Bull’ is associated with made up stories from around the date of the earliest ‘cock and bull’ citation though, as in this quotation from J. Taylor, 1630:
“Wit and Mirth … Made vp, and fashioned into Clinches, Bulls, Quirkes, Yerkes, Quips, and Ierkes.”
Usage / Example:
“Never believe on Robert because his story are always a cock and bull story“.
This explanation is inscrutable.
