Note
Whether an object follows decides the meaning: bullshitting the teacher can only be deceiving, the one sense that takes an object. Standing alone, the form may mean lying, idle talk or making it up on the spot, and the setting tells which. The final t doubles before -ing. Every meaning is vulgar slang, so polite or formal speech needs plainer words: lying, chatting, improvising.
