fact-checker

Fact-checkers are websites (run by an organization) that checks for the validity of rumors and widespread claims of a certain matter. For example, fact-checkers often debunk the claims of certain political moguls. Without fact-checkers, the internet would be a chaotic place of misinformation.

After hearing rumors that INSERT CELEBRITY HERE's death was a suicide, I went to a fact-checker website and found that this was not at all true.

dad fact

That weird random bit of information that a Dad will suddenly drop on you after you ask a fairly simple question. And is almost always 100% correct.

Me: why do international pilots need to know English?

Dad: It is actually called Aviation English. It was implemented because of a really bad plane crash back in the 1970's caused partly by language issues.
Me: *Googles it, sees hes correct* that's a Dad Fact!

alt-facts

Short for "alternative facts" - a newspeak term for things that are completely wrong, but one decides to give a fuck about truth. Coined by Kellyann Conway, spin doctor of US President Donald J. Trump.

"It's a lie. But we will not say lie, because thats a bad word. We don't use bad words. We never do them. We use right words. Right words, alt-right-words, alt-facts. Who needs facts anyway. I won." Donald J. Trump
