I just noticed recently that in American English "bullshit" often means "unfair" or "trivial" where in British English it usually means "untrue".

It usually means "untrue" here as well, but it's often used as a synonym for "extremely ridiculous".

FWIW in my version of English it means "nonsense" (I'm the OP).

I have never realized this. Wow, this would explain some weird conversations.
