"Baloney" is an alternative way of spelling "bologna" (which is lunchmeat for sandwiches). Usually when it's spelled "baloney" it means just what you guessed--a lot of B.S., hogwash, something not to be believed.

A little side note--I actually have a cat named "Lexie" (the cat is named after the pseudonym I've used online for years). Anyway, we adopted her from the shelter, and the name they gave her there was "Joanie Baloney." I could hardly make her live with THAT name.

(OTOH, my son named our other kitten "Isis"--after the Egyptian goddess. This was 10 years ago, way before Isis had the unfortunate connotation it has right now. I figure I'm on a number of terrorist watch lists, thank to my son and his creative naming.)
