A south African woman!

Of late I have been witness to a friend finding himself getting more and more frustrated by south african women. Both dating and freindships he keeps getting the thin end of the wedge. We live in the middle east and his terminology to sum this particular species was "bolshy".

Bulshytt 

Technical and clinical term denoting speech (typically but not necessarily commercial or political) that employs euphemism, convenient vagueness, numbing repetition, and other such rhetorical subterfuges to create the impression that something has been said. The word, not to be confused with the broader term, "bullshit," was coined by author Neal Stephenson in his speculative-fiction novel Anathem.

According to Stephenson, people who use this type of rhetoric are "more prone than anyone else to taking offense (or pretending to) when their bulshytt is pointed out to them." Ironically, people who use this seemingly confrontational term can be "excluded from polite discourse, unless they say the same thing in a different way, which means becoming a purveyor of bulshytt oneself. The latter quality probably explains the uncanny stability and resiliency of bulshytt."
Source: Anathem (appendix: glossary) Neal Stephenson, 2008.

The best corporate blogs shed their bulshytt and speak to people in the same tone and manner as if reader and blogger were chatting over a keg of beer. There’s a reason for that. People are exposed to plenty of corporate happy-talk and marketing prose in your ads. They don’t need more.

Bolshitsattva 

Noun: A person who is enlightened in the art of bullshitting. It is distinguished from low level bullshitters who simply repeat their bullshits daily.

Telemarketer (low level bullshitter): Hi sir would you be interested in buying our product? You need the product to be good looking, to be famous, to be rich, to enjoy life, to survive, and all the good things the world has to offer. It's free for the first 30 days....(bla bla bla)
Bolshitsattva: I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for cash cows, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you shut yourself now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.
Jack Azz: (After a long pause) Good bye. (Hangs up the phone in fear)
