bullshit threshold

The amount of bullshit someone will put up with or tolerate before saying fuck it and walking away.

This guy Marc was whiney and kept losing his temper, so I said fuck it I'm out.

That's because you have a low bullshit threshold.

bullshit threshold

the amount of information needed about a topic in order to be able to bullshit a conversation or answer a question about it about it and have everyone think you actually know what you're talking about

Guy A: How did you talk to Alexandra last night about Harry Potter? I didn't think you read those books?
Guy B: I didn't, but I saw some of the movies and remember hearing my friends talking about the series that I had enough info to get past the bullshit threshold and make some jokes about the series to her.

Student A: You don't own the book for the class, how did you know about Edmund Randolph?
Students B: Guess I read enough of the Constututional Convention wikipedia article that I reached the bullshit threshold about it.
