Such as?

This is a serious question. The "BS" term is used here precisely 
*because* it has somewhat-offensive connotations. Output with a callous 
disregard to truth, facts, and related concepts *is* offensive IMHO; any 
term used to describe such should at least suggest that offensiveness, 
lest we reduce our discussion to a blasé exchange of opinions without 
regard to their impact, factual as well as emotional.
