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?")
