'Bullshit' is highly colloquial and crude. The word strongly disparages a statement, so it is mainly suitable for direct, informal conversations.

His explanation is complete bullshit.

I don't want to hear any bullshit in this conversation.
'Bullshit' often occurs with verbs such as 'erzählen' (to tell), 'reden' (to talk), or 'verbreiten' (to spread). The phrase 'Bullshit über etwas' (bullshit about something) is also common when rejecting specific claims.
Er erzählt ständig Bullshit über seine angeblichen Erfolge.
He is constantly talking bullshit about his supposed achievements.

A lot of bullshit about healthy eating is spread online.
'Das ist Bullshit' (That's bullshit) is often used as a short, very direct rejection of a statement. The phrase expresses strong disapproval and sounds considerably harsher than a neutral assessment.
Du behauptest, man könne ohne Lernen jede Prüfung bestehen? Das ist Bullshit.
You claim that you can pass any exam without studying? That's bullshit.
