Well, I got the spelling wrong.  Bad Russ!  Bad Russ!

According to Webster's New World Collegiate Dictionary, Fourth Edition, 
the spelling is "bushwa" and means ignorant.

Webster's also states that "bushwa" is an altered form of "BS".  That is 
as I intended.  I didn't want to be profane.  We are such high class 
folk, you know.  Har.  Har.
