Gilipolleces
Does anybody have any idea what this means? It is used a lot in La Reina del Sur.
No importante, solo gilipolleces.

Hi there!
That word is widely used in Spain. As you know we're very foul-mouthed (in general) :·P
Una gilipollez is a rude way of saying 'a nonsense'. Something like your 'bullsh-t'. Gilipolleces is the plural. For example:
- Estoy harto de tus gilipolleces. - I'm sick of your nonsense/crap.
- Nada importante, solo gilipolleces. - Nothing important, just bulls-t/nonsenses.
Un saludo!

It's an extension of the word Gilipolla, which to my knowledge is a swear word basically meaning A-Hole. Gilipolleces would be the stupid (sh--) that gilipollas do.
Think of it as pendejos and pendejadas.
OK, I couldnt find squat on memrise because it is not searchable, but, Linguee was quite useful.
The first spelling I found, which was vaguely what I recalled, was gilipollas. I remember now getting which L is single and which doubled wrong on those flashcards numerous times.
Anyway, the first 4 or 5 references of this very inconsistent translation seem to be; idiot, butt-head, a-hole, $h¡t and many more things both milder and stronger. Might as well be pendejo. I think memrise had it a less harsh, but it is in any event, not a compliment.
Now, with your spelling, I only found 2 references, and they were both bull$h¡t

Hmmm, I can´t say for sure, but I Do remember seeing it as a vocabulary word over on Memrise, spelled a tiny bit differently. I have a super vague recollection that it was mildly derogatory, like calling someone goofy or silly. My connection is a bit slow, but I´ll see if I can´t dig it up.

Exactly it. You also can use"babosadas".
