Title: Academic Trivia
Review: Frankfurt begins trying to define the term, drawing from the Oxford English Dictionary and various authors, and similar terms such as "bull-session," "shooting the bull," "humbug," and "hot air."Unfortunately, since there is no clearly agreed-upon definition of the term, Frankfut's hair-splitting efforts to clarify it come to naught. However, he did clarify why there is so much b-s - it is the unavoidable result of people needing to talk about something they little or nothing about. In other words, the combination of today's complexities and our shallow educations.Interesting reading in the bookstore (if you have nothing else to do and are trying to impress those around you), but not worth buying.
