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).
