B: Húshuö bädào! Shéi shuö de?

A: I hear you don’t want to take the HSK test.
B: Nonsense! Who said that?


Example 2:

A: Xiâo Liú shuö gâo chuánxiäo kêyî zhèng dà qián.
B: Húshuö bädào! Nà kêshì wéifâ de.

A: Xiao Liu said you can make big money by pyramid selling.
B: Nonsense! That’s illegal.

This is an expression showing strong opposition. Use it with caution: it is comparatively rude, unfriendly, and nearly abusive.
