- From the enterer: Yep. Dictionary definition. I didn't see anything in the rules that barred something from including one of those. Why shouldn't an entry begin it's life as a dictionary definition, or dicdef as you so aptly put it? Everything has a definition, after all. And it's a safe bet that when someone else runs across it, and thinks "Hey, I can make that a little better" that they will. After all, that's kinda the point of the whole website, is it not?
- Please refer to Wikipedia:Deletion_policy, and with special notice to: "articles that could never be more than dictionary definitions, etc." I don't think horseshit merits its own article. Johnleemk | Talk 12:06, 23 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Luckily I wasn't the only one who didn't entirely agree with that.

- I'd suggest instead that it be merged and redirected to bullshit, which is already more than a dictionary definition. The metaphorical uses of both terms are strongly similar. Smerdis of Tlön 15:47, 23 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- I have added the bit about Big Trouble in Little China to bullshit, and also added a discussion of the difference between bullshit and horseshit to the bullshit page. Smerdis of Tlön 16:04, 23 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Enterer again: That makes much more sense than outright deletion. At least there's a reference point for the word and I can live with that. :) Thank you.

- Good merge guys, very well done. I vote for a redirect. Also, enterer, in case you were wondering use 4 tildes (~ ~ ~ ~ without the spaces) to sign and date your posts. —siroχo 21:07, Jun 23, 2004 (UTC)
- ooh.. good info thanks! Except I'm an IP address right now. ;) No matter, at least the timestamp is nice.. 206.53.197.12 21:21, 23 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Redirect to bullshit, it's a minor variation on the same theme. -- Cyrius|✎ 22:20, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Disambiguate or redirect to nonsense. anthony (see warning)

Where is the truth?[edit]
The article reads: Again one would not say "I feel like bullshit". However, Google search results show that "I feel like bullshit" is 20x more common than "I feel like horseshit". 85.193.247.94 (talk) 23:23, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
