Etymology
A term originated by the Church of the SubGenius. Bulldada is used to describe the worth of an object or a concept (such as a movie, a speech, a book, or a song) that is presented to the world as something completely serious...yet it provokes unintentional laughter due to its campiness or high irony|ironic content.

The term "bulldada" can be used as a substitution for the profanity bullshit. It can be seen as a combination of "bull" (used as an descriptive noun or adjective -- "That's a load of bull!") with the term dada, which refers to the use of chaos, anarchy, and "weirdness" as a form of art.
