true dat

A reference to the fact that DAT (Digital Audio Tape, a physical magnetic cassette tape format for digital data and media storage, also being an early lossless digital music recording format and medium, with helical read/write heads similar to those used with VHS videocassettes), preserved the complete nature of the recorded and so sounds “true” (generally 48kHz 16-bit stereo PCM), unlike the disgraceful and horrible lossy formats such as mp1l3 (OK, mp3), ATRAC (MiniDisc), PASC (as used on the well-known DCC format), and many other pretenders such as RealAudio. All of those lossy encoders produce recordings that sound “false”, and denigrate music and human experience below acceptable limits. DAT is the one true fin-de-siècle medium, hence the term “true dat”.

“You know what? I heard that before and it didn't really get me!”
“Really?”
“Yeah for sure. This time it was somehow different, I really felt the vibe.”
“True dat.”

"True" Love

It begins with the most mundane scenario, something so typical its origins could seem minuscule. But as it grows and develops it becomes a part of you and once it starts its almost like the creation of a building or structure. Depending on your architectural experience and elements you have to make it, is how it may turn out. someone could build ""True" Love" into something very unplanned, successful, and quickly that could physically resemble something that of a radio tower or with planning, experience and proper elements, into something that could be beautiful and last a very long time, maybe a building alike the burj khalifa? there are many buildings to be built but it is very important where you build them and build them to adapt. Its not exactly the smartest idea to build a two hundred story building in the middle of the ocean. So take love as a lesson, blessing and curse because love is something replaceable if you do it wrong.

Wow "True" Love is really something else eh?

True Poly

A true poly is someone who can not love just one person. The love does not have to, but can include, sexual relations however can not comfortably be confined to a single person.

"My boyfriend James is a true poly because he loves and takes care of me and my friends."

true friends

Someone you are close to and have a mutual agreement of being friends and having a friendship. The friendship can differ between individuals. It is common to hangout and participate in fun outings and activities such as going to festivals, concerts, church, parties, kick backs, etc. A must is attending church together.

Becca and Fanny are true friends that go to church together and hangout at kickbacks.
