⚡Gold Rule
Avoid in Formal Settings
This phrase is highly informal and should never be used in formal writing or professional contexts.
📖Word Origin
The phrase combines 'बकवास' (nonsense, from Persian 'bakwās' meaning 'empty talk') and the verb 'करना' (to do). 'बकवास' itself is derived from the Persian 'bak' (empty) + 'wās' (talk).
