Good Morning Cameron. I have a Webster, an American Heritage and an Oxford.
My American Heritage says "vulgar" and my Webster says "usually vulgar"

Vulgar is defined as "vernacular" or; the commonly spoken languge, (that is what we're speaking right?)

Mr. Webster also defines bullshit as "nonsense" and "foolish insolent talk"

Sure does sound like that Ozzie Press release to me.

Vulgar can also be defined as "crude, coarse, and bawdy" (guilty as charged, and not too "insolent" to admit it)

I was going to impress you with my Oxford, but I can only find the second half (It comes in two parts, but you must know that already)
Can anybody out there tell us how The Oxford English Dictionary defines "bullshit"?

Bottom Line here is that I thought the Australian press release was standard Big Business Doublespeak.
I just called it what I felt it was, and picked what I thought, was the PERFECT word.(BS)

As far as the "shut your mouth stuff", yes you're right. I read some of your other posts and later realized that you were attaching cute little witticisms at the bottom of all your posts and you were not attacking me on a personal level. (at least, I hope not?)

Happy Halloween
Jeff

"you can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think."

PS. I have a Websters Dictionary copyright@1948 and bullshit is not listed. What are the ramifications and what does this portend about our society?
