Adjacent to the Truth

Yes. I was guilty, but only for telling the truth.
I was recently reprimanded by an English teacher, who stated that the phrase “adjacent to the truth” has no meaning and therefore does not exist in the English language ..!
So, does being “adjacent to the truth” exist within the English language..?

Or, have I invented a new English phrase ..?

Homeless Adjacent

Describing one who is not without a home, but likes to act as if they are
ie.: •sometimes lives in the car out of choice, not obligation

•enjoys spending time at odd, anonded buildings, parks, etc

•works a job that is ordinarily accepted by society, but would rather pretend that they don’t
I love my best friend, but sometimes I have to remind her that she’s a contributing member of society with a house and husband, and a regular 9 to 5. And that even though she likes to sleep in her car and busk on the street asking people for money, she’s not actually homeless. She’s just homeless adjacent.
