truth

Something unknowable that is.

The truth is that the table is six feet long. Actually, the table is 6 feet 1mm long. Actually it's decreasing in size due to natural decay at a measurable rate of 1mm per decade. Actually, the truth of the matter is that we can't even get accurate figures on the table. Actually, we could accidentally get accurate figures on the table, but not know them as a perfect thought. Actually we could know everything about the table incidentally, although that would require a better definition of knowing. Maybe.

a censored, inconvenient truth

Dear editor, this entry does not violate any of the rules on the editor homepage. a censored, inconvenient truth is the last few drops of semen remaining in the urethra of the erect male penis that oozes out when the penis "derects" to travel size.

My dick stinks because of a censored, inconvenient truth that fermented in my boxers.

Truthboating

An organized political tactic or strategy aimed at exposing and promoting the actual facts about a political candidate, their positions, or their record.

A play on "Swiftboating," where baseless allegations are widely promoted to smear a candidate (often with funding provided by outside groups),"Truthboating" is designed to discredit a candidate or their positions based on well documented facts or the public record.

While some might consider telling the truth about a candidate to be a "dirty trick," others feel the practice may actually make an important contribution to electoral politics.

Mitt Romney called it "disgusting" that the Obama campaign was citing actual facts about when he worked at Bain Capital. Such truthboating is expected to escalate as the presidential election approaches.
