The word horseshit or horse shit can mean:

  • The feces of the horse. (In this meaning more often spelled as two words)
  • Nonsense, usually inaccurate statements spoken out of ignorance rather than deception. (In this meaning more often spelled as one word) (slang): see bullshit.

This word is generally used in a derogatory manner and is a noun. It is often used to dismiss viewpoints one considers to be absurd. Ie. Two guys discussing relativism and Bubba over hears them and says, "That sounds like a bunch of horse shit."
