fairings
 n., /fer'ingz/

    [FreeBSD; orig. a typo for fairness] A term thrown out in discussion
    whenever a completely and transparently nonsensical argument in one's favor
    (?) seems called for, e,g. at the end of a really long thread for which the
    outcome is no longer even cared about since everyone is now so sick of it;
    or in rebuttal to another nonsensical argument (?Change the loader to look
    for /kernel.pl? What about fairings??)
