look at the references. it is england english. that being said, it's heavily used in the USA. of course it is. i wasn't suggesting otherwise. the interpretation that it means bullshit comes from the british not american. sorry. although your observation that the americans have established its heavy use is correct.
it doesn't only mean weak liquor it means any worthless stuff. read the post.
Um. In General: Whaaa?

1.I never said it only means weak liquor -- you read the post.
2. What on earth did you mean then when you said, "hogwash is not an american word. it's british english." If you weren't trying to suggest that American's don't use the word the wth were you suggesting?
It's used in the US, commonly. It's a word that British and American English share... +99% of the lexicon is shared. When you say it's not american it's english you suggest that it's part of that small set of words brits use and yanks don't or vice versa... like bonnet for hood, boot for trunk, pram for baby carriage, etc.
3."look at the references. it is england english." Before you cut and paste you would be advised to read and understand the material you've cut and pasted... or in short: No, you look at the references! Those aren't all 'England english" Arbuthnot was a Scot, Bret Harte was American, G.B. Shaw was Irish, Lawrence Durrell was... well... he claimed allegiance to no state and was possibly not a British citizen, he was born in India, to parents who were born in India, but he was not ethnically Indian.
4. You fail at being a nerd. I however...
lol "baby carriage." Seriously?! How delightfully crass. 
ruy lopez for beginners
Isn't the Ruy supposed to give White better chances than almost any other opening? (Hence its popularity).
Not really an opening to play as Black then...
Besides, the Ruy has alot of theory - not something for beginners.
