Thread Name: BS: Absolutely!
Subject: RE: BS: Absolutely!
I thought it was used mostly as a shorthand for:
"you're too stupid to argue with so I'll accept that there is plausible cause to believe you may have accidentally said something containing a miniscule fragment of factual content."
On reflection, it seems that it's becoming more frequent to use the term for
"Hey, I'm as gullible as you are."
