bullistics

Da study of da path of a charging horned male cattle from da moment it gets mad all da way up to da moment of impact with whatever object made it upset.

If you take away a bull's credit card --- or never even issue it one to begin with --- then it won't be able to charge in da first place, and so there will never be an occasion to run bullistics.

Bullpost

A rhetorical tactic where, instead of engaging with the content of someone's argument, you simply declare it "bullshit" and consider your point proven. The bullpost is similar to the sensepost but more aggressive—it doesn't just claim the argument lacks sense; it claims the argument is intentionally deceptive, manipulative, or worthless. Planting a bullpost is a power move: you're not just disagreeing; you're dismissing the entire discussion as beneath you. The bullpost is especially popular in online arguments, where "bullshit" can be typed faster than a thoughtful response and requires no evidence, no reasoning, and no accountability.

Example: "He posted a well-researched thread about climate policy. The first response was a bullpost: 'This is bullshit.' No engagement with the research, no counter-evidence, no specific critique—just the declaration that the entire thread was worthless. The bullposter felt victorious; the thread's author felt like they'd been shouted down by someone who hadn't read a word."

Bullsplaining

A form of verbalsplaining where you declare someone's argument "bullshit" and then proceed to explain why it's bullshit, again without engaging with the actual content. Bullsplaining is sensesplaining's more aggressive cousin—it doesn't just claim the argument lacks sense; it claims the argument is intentionally deceptive, manipulative, or worthless. The bullsplainer isn't just correcting you; they're exposing you, revealing your supposed deception to anyone listening. It's the rhetorical equivalent of calling someone a liar and then giving a speech about why lying is bad, without ever addressing what they actually said. Bullsplaining is beloved by online commenters, political pundits, and anyone who's ever felt that "you're wrong" wasn't dismissive enough.

Bullsplaining Example: "He posted a thread about economic inequality with sources and data. The first response was a bullsplaining essay about why his entire argument was 'bullshit'—no engagement with his sources, no counter-evidence, just a lengthy explanation of his supposed deception. The thread died. Bullsplaining had done its job: ending discussion without requiring thought."

Bullet-in-Brain disease

humourous phrase meaning "shot in the head". In formal statements where the commentator will refuse to directly say the victim was murdered, they will instead use the phrase "Bullet-in-Brain disease" in reference to their death to avoid making comments of graphic violence while giving viewers (particularly adults) the idea of what happened to the victim.

"Hitler was once an aspiring artist who was rejected from art school after one of the professors have stated that his artwork is 'mediocre'. Following his career in politics, the professor mysteriously died from a rare case of Bullet-in-Brain disease."

Bulle de on y va

Le phénomène social où un groupe décide de quitter un endroit confortable (salon, canapé, bar) pour s'en aller, mais où la conversation refuse de s'arrêter. Les participants se retrouvent alors piégés dans une "bulle" invisible qui se déplace dans des lieux de plus en plus hostiles : le couloir étroit, l'ascenseur bloqué, le parking souterrain glauque ou le trottoir en plein courant d'air.
La "Bulle de on y va" commence par un "Bon, on y va ?" et se termine généralement 45 minutes plus tard par un début d'hypothermie ou une extinction de voix, alors que tout le monde est encore debout, les clés à la main et le manteau fermé jusqu'au menton.

Julien : « Allez, il est minuit, on y va ! »
Léa : « Grave, on bouge. Ah, mais attends, j'ai oublié de te dire ce que le voisin a fait... »
(40 minutes plus tard, debout sous la pluie battante à côté d'une poubelle)
Julien : « Je ne sens plus mes orteils, mais termine ton histoire sur le syndic. On est officiellement dans une bulle de on y va. »

Bullsplaining

A hybrid of Bullslighting and Digitalsplaining: the perpetrator explains to the target why their own words are “bullshit,” often in a condescending, pseudo‑educational tone. Instead of simply dismissing, they offer elaborate, often incorrect “explanations” of why the target’s statements are nonsense, while ignoring the target’s actual points. Bullsplaining allows the perpetrator to appear helpful and rational while systematically undermining the target’s credibility. It is a common tactic in online debates about controversial topics.

Example: “He wrote a 500‑word thread ‘explaining’ why her lived experience of discrimination was actually a misunderstanding of statistics—bullsplaining, using faux‑expertise to erase her reality.”

Bullslighting

A form of Digitallighting where the perpetrator dismisses everything the target says by labeling it “bullshit,” “nonsense,” “pseudoscience,” or other contemptuous terms, without ever engaging the substance. The goal is to erode the target’s credibility and sanity by making their every utterance seem laughably false. The constant dismissal—often performed in public threads—creates a reality where the target’s words are pre‑emptively invalidated, and any attempt to defend themselves is met with more accusations of “bullshit.” Bullslighting is a favorite of bad‑faith debaters who want to silence without argument.

Example: “Every time she shared a source, he replied ‘more bullshit.’ When she asked what specifically was wrong, he said ‘all of it.’ Bullslighting: using blanket dismissal to avoid thinking.”
