rubbish v.

[Victor Steinbok]

A while ago we were discussing the verb "rubbish", particularly the way
it is used in the UK. Here's a NZ example that may also help:

Film industry rubbishes Dotcom's lobbying claim
> Kim Dotcom's claim that Hollywood lobbied the United States Government
> into investigating MegaUpload is being rubbished by the group that
> represents the US film industry.
> ...
> However the MPAA said in a statement to technology website CNET that
> MegaUpload did not come up at the meeting at all.
> Instead, Biden was asked to appeal to the Chinese Government to ask it
> to remove trade barriers to US films.
