How do you utilize "bullshit" when typing posts here at DU???

(Yea, Yea, I KNOW this is really weird, but my curiosity is driving me up the friggen wall!) :banghead:

So:

EXAMPLE:
"There are those who argue America is not ready for a female president."

Do you respond:

"I call bullshit"

OR

"I say bullshit"

It seems like 99% of the people here at DU say "I call bullshit"

I don't get it because I've always used, "I say bullshit..."

I'm trying to figure out whether it's a regional thing or just a personal preference! :patriot:

1. call. They make a claim, you are calling them on it. That halves

the regional theory thing, now it is only "your region says it"

2. Who cares what Australians say? KIDDING!!

By "regional," I meant California.....not the entire United States versus the world.

Anyway, sensible post. Thanks for the info.!

3. Call

Not sure if it is a regional thing, but it seems to be a stronger assertion to say "I call bullshit" than to say "I say bullshit"

It sounds more forceful to me.
