Has been used vs has been being used?
Hi, everyone.
Could you tell me the difference in meaning between the two sentences?
The term "BS" has been used since the existence of bullshit, I suppose.
The term "BS" has been being used since the existence of bullshit, I suppose.
Thanks!

The second one is pretty horrible . The perfect continuous passive tenses ("has/had/have been being verb-ed") are awkward and best avoided.
