Example One: A fully geared trio in APEX: Legends (Yellow and Purple Armor) being squad wiped because one player on the team ran ahead and pushed an under-geared and less skillful team alone. #clowned.
Example Two: CNN's Chris Cuomo asking Mark McCloskey if any of his property was damaged the night McCloskey was forced to pull a gun on a group of protesters to protect said property, presumably fishing for a "no" to establish that McCloskey had no good reason for his actions. When, in reality, McCloskey's actions were more than clearly justified and likely prevented property damage to his and others' property. Thus, Cuomo's Gonzo Journalism style question revealed the true nature of the interview. #clowned

In order to understand the meaning of Categorically False, one must understand the Categorical approach to defining crimes. Where there are two crimes that may be similar in nature, but defined differently in different areas (Such as "Burglary" and "Shoplifting") then one may or may not be the same as the other.
For example, State X defines walking into a store in the middle of the day and stealing X amount of product from the shelf as "Burglary". State Y defines the same action as "Shoplifting". It is in a defense attorney's best interest to argue that this conviction, especially as it applies to Federal Law (enhancing sentences based on prior convictions), does not fall in the same category as a specified crime.
So, in practice, it means that a reporter asking someone's opinion of whether or not the charges of "drug smuggling" to a relative are true. The interviewee would respond, "Those charges are categorically false". Meaning, this person did something... but not defined in the way you just asked about.
However, in popular culture, people using the phrase Categorically False simple mean "wholly untrue", which is incorrect.

Reporter: "Have you been questioned by the NYPD about your cousin?"
Councilwoman Mariah Dillard: "Family first Robin. I love my cousin Cornell Stokes. The charges against him are categorically false..."

A person who can feel a minimal sexual attraction to someone upon seeing them, but not have the desire to actually engage in sex until a strong emotional bond is formed.
A: Are you a demisexual?
B: No, I'm more of a demi-demisexual I still think that girl is hot, but I wouldn't want to have sex with her until I knew she was the right one for me. Casual sex tends to leave me feeling empty, like I just wasted something good I had.

A dumb-assed replacement phrase for the word-phrase "comeback", which, in normal people English, means "retort".
It makes no sense since "clap" is a word that doesn't represent anything having to do with the meaning of the intention behind the phrase, and meaning something completely different.
In fact, you could replace the verb aspect of this word-phrase with almost any verb, such as:
Fartback
Pushback
Suckback
Blowback
Pickleback
Sayback
and the dumb-assedness of the phrase stays the same, since the focus isn't on it's etymology, but the intention of meaning that the speaker has. The reason that this is dumb is because words mean things and, now, we're arriving at a place where any word can mean anything. This, of course, will inevitably lead to the world simply "barking" at each other like dogs would since, in the future, all we'll need to do is make noises at each other to get our points across since no specific word holds any intrinsic meaning anymore.

Steve: "I was watching YouTube videos and I hear them continue using the word "Clapback", but I can't understand what they mean. The meaning just sounds like "comeback" to me."
Andy: "Yep. You're right Steve. That's pretty much all it means."
Steve: "But we already had a word to describe that. Why would people want to make up another one?"
Andy: "To quote the band The Refreshments' song 'Banditos', "Everybody knows that the world is full of stupid people."

A word that describes the leftist nature of the Urban Dictionary website. It points to the "leftist" political leanings on the site, whether by choice of the site and its administrators itself or by nature of the individuals who patron the site who post definitions with such leanings.
It is used to describe the phenomenon when you first open the Urban Dictionary website and see that all "words of the day" are disparagements against Republican or right-leaning public figures, complaints about voting, and traditional conservative sayings, among other things.
The reason this is the case is because it is the modus operandi of politically left-leaning individuals take to forums, social media, and any other online site that they can edit - such as Urban Dictionary, Wikipedia, or even Pintrest - to try and edit history or create a new history in which all information points the direction they want it to. For more information, read the book 1984 by George Orwell.

Person 1: Yo, I just visited Urban Dictionary and all of the current words of the day are stupid shit like "Trump Fluffer", "Trump Lung", "Voter Fatigue", "B.C.V.", and "Thoughts and Prayers".
Person 2: Yeah, that's Urban Leftionary making itself known.
Person 1: Why tho?
Person 2: Most likely because the people who patron the site are just leftists without any actual political clout, and this makes them angry. The goal of those on the political left is to create a regime in which people are shamed, ostracized, cancelled, or perhaps worse, over any idea, value, moral, tradition, or thought that could potentially be perceived as aggressive, racist, bigoted, homophobic, sexist, or hateful.
Person 1: But that don't make no sense doe... those definitions are connotatively hateful.
Person 2: Don't try to make any sense out of it, the left is the epitome of hypocrisy. It most often utilizes facism, hate speech, violence, and intolerance to achieve its goals.
Person 1: Sounds like they just want political and cultural power, and they no different.
Person 2: That's right. Most of them are impotent of any actual power, so they take to online forums and social media to band together as a group, because their ideas are generally useless and not based in reality unless other red-faced shouting people support them, upvote, like, or emoji them.
Person 1: Ahh, now I understand why Urban Leftionary is the way it is.
