'tish fact' - a spurious, often fictitious piece of information stated as 'fact' that has little relation to reality, no background and often dismissed out of hand. Directly related to Aatish 'Tish' Pattni's continual statements of fact that serve only to support his argument or current beliefs whilst attempting to either outwit or out-knowledge another 'friend' or member of staff in the office during open debate.
A good example of a 'tish fact' or something that could well be called as such would be to issue a statement without 100% knowing if it is true, then being immediately corrected by a peer only to retort with a similarly farcical background piece of information to support the original fallacy. This could be seen as the opposite of 'digging oneself out of a hole', or rather to make a social 'hole' bigger by continuing to support an argument with lies or further embarrassing statements. Best avoided.
Example:
Person 1: "The lunar landings took place in 1978"
Person 2: "No, Apollo 11 landed on the moon in July 1969"
Person 1: "No it was definitely 1978 as Neil Armstrong is a distant relation of mine"
Person 1 has committed him/herself to a line of argument that they cannot support or realise they may have said in error, but only served to compound with a second statement of complete crap! Tish Fact!

Get the tish fact mug.Pronounced "TOOK-us OY-f'n tish." Many variant spellings. Literally "ass on the table," it's a Yiddish phrase meaning a serious atmosphere for talk or negotiation. Closest US-English equivalents are probably "No BS" or "(Let's get down to) brass tacks." Often used in a tone of exasperation. Generally recommended for use within members of the same sex.
"Elliot, come into the dining room. We need to make travel plans NOW or they won't get done."
"But Uncle Bernie, the game starts in half an hour."
"Plenty of time if you stop fooling around. Cmon: tuchus oyfn tish."

Get the Tishana mug.A coastal Southern city in Guangdong, China. Home to most overseas Chinese, and practically built up all the Chinatowns in the world for later generations. A developed and advanced city in the midst of a charming rural area known for its contribution to farming. The local Taishanese people are the most kind-hearted and caring people. Their doors are always open and they are very generous and hospitable to everyone. Overseas Taishanese have given back to Taishan generously, making its education system one of the best in the country. The home of Chinese volleyball, and historical center for international trade, Taishan has had great influence on the development of China. Taishanese was once the most widely-spoken language in Southern China, and lost to Mandarin by a small margin for the national language. All Taishanese should be proud of their roots, and not afraid to speak up! Work hard to preserve your culture!

Get the Taishan mug.An amazing girl that has a cute smile, beautiful eyes, laughs at pretty much everything, gives the best kisses, sometimes not the smartest of people but still smart enough to no who and who not to date. You could win her heart by being a nice guy and not a jerk.

Get the Teisha mug.Teisha is the warmest person you will ever meet. Her smile makes you feel so cozy. She has a very interesting choice of vocabulary and strange insults, but if you get to know her, you will discover the scary, hot burning flame inside of her. When she identifies something as wrong, she stands by it. If you ever hurt her, she will fight. And oh boy, when she's mad, she is scary as frick. The guys love her because she is super hot and is the kindest most loyal person you will ever meet. If you ever get to see her walking by at the very least you are so lucky. She hides what she is feeling so well, she swallows her pain in order to not involve or hurt others. She overthinks things way too much but manages to remain calm. It is so hard not to love her when you see her. Every day means so much more with a Teisha in it. Teishas always know what to say, in situations that leave most wordless. Don't get me started on her facial expressions. Each and every one of her facial expressions seem completely perfect for each and every situation.
