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 ..?

Adjacent upward mobility effect

This is the effect of hob-knobing with those rich fucks. Eventually you may have enough coin to buy a whore of your own. Just standing beside me make you 😎 cool.

By the way I can only imagine what I'll will look like hanging with the skinny fucks you will lose my fat nigger cunt because of the adjacent upward mobility effect.

Lifestyle Adjacent

Is how a person or persons define themselves when they enjoy or practice everything about a certain lifestyle, except the main reason said lifestyle is created for or based on.

I really enjoy the openness, sexy atmosphere and free vibes hanging around swingers, yet I/we just don't partake in having sex with others. I/we consider ourselves Lifestyle Adjacent

I love the restaurants, the excitement, the sound and everything high end casinos offer, I just don't gamble. I am Lifestyle Adjacent.

The formula one circuit is amazing, the luxury, the mystery, the display of raw power, I just don't care about the races.
