Boe Shoué (pronounced BO-SHWEE):
A French term coined in the 17th Century by King Henry IV (King of France and Navarre from 1589 to 1610). The term Boe Shoué (often acronymed "BS") literally meant "rubbish" or "crap". It was commonly used to express ones disbelief in another individuals opinion and/or tale, suggesting a falsity in regards to the given account.
