[edit] Horseshit

Horseshit (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This disambig. is written like a dictionary, which Wikipedia is not. Besides, how often is it used when it refers to nonsense? I have NEVER heard this word being used when not refering to shits from horses. TheBlazikenMaster 17:20, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

• Redirect to Bullshit, as was the consensus in the previous deletion discussion for this article (archived on the article's Talk page). Propaniac 17:26, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
  • What difference would that make? I have never heard it, well, I have, but very VERY few times heard it when someone is talking about nonsense, most often I have heard it when someone is talking about shits from horses. TheBlazikenMaster 17:27, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
    • If there were an article about horse feces, I'd suggest redirecting there. But there's not, and since multiple people (including yourself, and myself) are familiar with the phrase being used as a synonym for bullshit, it makes sense to redirect it to that article. Redirects are cheap. Propaniac 19:08, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
      • But there is. I know, since the disambig says that when talking about brown shit from horses is most often two words, what you say me, or someone else redirects horse shit to feces after the deadline? Like the sound of that? TheBlazikenMaster 17:54, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect to bullshit per nom. It really doesn't matter which animal the shit is coming from; it amounts to the same thing in common usage. Shalom ^Hello 17:33, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
• redirect per nom. I've heard "horse shit" used in this sense, but it's really a lesser-used synonym for bullshit. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(((Broken clamshells • Otter chirps)))} 17:44, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

• Redirect and that's no bull --omtay38 20:31, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect, a common enough term even if TheBlazikenMaster has led a sheltered life. Some speakers may have grown up with it, others may just use it for its originality. Certainly there were many more such terms when over 50% of the US (or wherever) population was agricultural. But the point is that the meaning is essentially identical. --Dhartung | Talk 21:40, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect to Bullshit. It may be a cultural thing, but I've heard horseshit as much as bullshit, but they really do mean the same thing. --Charlene 21:49, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect to Bullshit. To answer the nom's question, it is indeed used enough to be in a collegiate dictionary, but not frequently from what I understand. Only time I've ever heard it was in a line from the film Alien. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 23:24, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect and mention in Bullshit. It may be a regional thing, but in my experience horseshit's a somewhat stronger term than bullshit in the spectrum of crap. Acroterion _(talk) 04:03, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
• Transwiki per above--Sefringle^Talk 05:54, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
