3. The taxonomy of turds

"At the very bottom: dogshit. The lowest of the low-ragpickers, bag ladies, and the people who hang out on dung heaps. When you treat somebody like dogshit, your contempt knows no bounds.

Next we have chickenshit. Chickenshit allows for a certain humanity. A chickenshit may be a disgusting coward, but at least he's not dogshit.

Bullshit comes after that-blatant and aggressive untruths. But at a certain level, of course, we admire our liars, don't we? Bullshitters get elected, chickenshits never.

At the top of the hierarchy, at the summit of the heap: horseshit. Horseshit is false too, but it's not manifestly false. Horseshit is subtle. It's nuanced. It plays to win. Horseshit fools some of the people some of the time. Divine justice, for example, is horseshit, not bullshit. Indeed, we hold horseshit in such esteem that we decline to bestow the epithet on one another. A person can be a bullshitter, but only a horse can be a horseshitter."
