'Then the words don't fit you,' said the King, looking round the court with a smile. There was a dead silence.

'It's a pun!' the King added in an offended tone, and everybody laughed, 'Let the jury consider their verdict,' the King said, for about the twentieth time that day.

'No, no!' said the Queen. 'Sentence first—verdict afterwards.'

'Stuff and nonsense!' said Alice loudly. 'The idea of having the sentence first!'

'Hold your tongue!' said the Queen, turning purple.

'I won't!' said Alice.

Off with her head!' the Queen shouted at the top of her voice. Nobody moved.

Stuff and nonsense

Meaning

Rubbish, nonsense. Also used, although less often in recent years, as an exclamation of incredulity.

Origin

In this little term, stuff doesn't have any especial meaning beyond its normal usage - it just means, well, stuff, and is used merely as an intensifier for the word nonsense. The term is sometimes written as 'stuff and non-sense' to distinguish the 'rubbish' meaning from the exclamatory one.

It is first recorded in print in The Times, June 1827, in a parliamentary debate:

"He [Mr. Pitt] had at once to declare, that all notions of concerting and of dictating to the King in the exercise of his prerogative, was mere stuff and nonsense."

The use of the singular 'was' in that sentence indicates that 'stuff and nonsense' was expressed as a phrase rather than as two separate words.
