## What it is
Bullshit.js is a JavaScript bookmarklet that translates corporate marketing jargon into plain, human-readable text on any web page. It runs directly from the browser bookmarks bar without installation.

## When to choose
- you want a zero-install browser tool to demystify marketing jargon
- you read lots of corporate or startup copy and want instant plain-language translation
- you prefer a lightweight bookmarklet over a full browser extension
