[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?")
