BS = bull $hit Meaning,.. one is talking meaningless, foolish, s#it. So either BS or horse s#it.
Seeing a name like BS2000 or BS3000 made me think of a hypothetical marketing department where their product is so useless, but they proudly sell it, by naming it BS2000. They call the new and improved version BS3000. It's like how the wall street laughs at the rest of the world when they name things CDOs, etc. Sure, CDO has a normal meaning but I'm sure some guy in a suit somewhere knows its *real* expanded name (inside joke). – Vignesh Mainframe Infrastructure -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Arthur Fichtl Sent: 27 January 2019 08:27 To: [email protected] Subject: Subject: Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: how many OSes run on IBMz Am 27.01.2019 um 06:00 schrieb IBM-MAIN automatic digest system: > Subject: Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: how many OSes run on IBMz OK, Enlight me, what is BS?
