Words have meaning. ............ For most people words have meaning. Trying to pass words off as BS is just the result of an extremely shallow thinker. Those BS words that you rationalize away have real consequences when heard by a man willing to shoot 50 innocent people in New Zealand - as just the most recent example.

Like, “I grab 'em by the Pussy.” Untrue claim but not an “assault” which numerous major news organizations accused him of. The act, as stated, is assault. So, you say that the above was an "untrue claim." Does that make it bullshit? Or is an "untrue claim something different from bullshit? Tell me, please, just how the rest of us are supposed to differentiate bullshit from untrue claims from mistakes from lies? Do we need to get the secret decoder ring from a box of cereal or what? Here are a few of my personal favorites. Please categorize each of them as bullshit , untrue claim, etc. and tell me by what criteria? ----“And yet the murder rate in our country is the highest it’s been in 47 years, right? Did you know that? Forty-seven years.” ---- “Now, the audience [inauguration] was the biggest ever. But this crowd was massive. Look how far back it goes. This crowd was massive.” ---- “Nobody has ever heard of a [category] five [hurricane] hitting land.”
