"be that as it may" DO say, but at least it didn't sound like academic
jargon(bs) so I found it to be refreshingly insightful...the idea of
writing about "bullshit".
Out back in the barn, I don't have a bull but I do have a house or two.
Sooo, my questioni is: what IS the difference between "bullshit" and
"horseshit". He didn't even mention "horseshit".. which I found
irritating.
Be that as it may, let me take a stab at it. "Horseshit" if I maybe so
bold, is a more pejorative form of "bullshit", as in: "That's total
(one always tends to preceed hourseshit with total or totally)
"horseshit."
If one were to use "bullshit" in place of "horseshit" the meaning
would certainly be dfferent by several degrees. When someone calls an
action or uterance, "bullshit" that's a more respectful way of saying,
you're intelligent BUT you are being dishonest or selfserving or mean
spirited by not recognizing the truth. When one uses "horseshit" one
means to insult the intelligences of the person and the action.
