“Facts” that are the result of the practice of “Frightence”, in the study of a topic. These Facts are incapable of withstanding inquiry or application of the scientific method but are sold as “Settled Science”.
The speakers frightentific facts were incapable of surviving any inquiry into the undocumented and esoteric methods of data manipulation used in order to create data supporting the facts.

A person that can talk about facts or/and listen to them all day. They are always very passionate about every fact and will talk about it in very expensive ways. They mostly don't know more about a subject than fun facts.
- You are very passionate about this subject! Do you study it?
- No I just spent 5 hours listening to fun facts about it.
-Oh so you are a fact gremlin!

A statement that is being labelled as a “fact” that has a possibility of being true but most likely isn’t
“You can get on none international flights without a passport as long as you have a valid ID” This is an example of a Chad Fact

The intelligence services invented a particular statement to dismiss and or ridicule information which was to close to the truth for them. "Conspiracy theory" is still frequently used today to block any meaningful conversation.
Today I decided to create a counter to that statement with similar elements in it.

An unfounded but logical piece of information that may or may not be a fact, often wielded by dads at a BBQ.
Trav: "Did you know that if you pour Sprite on your balls you can taste it?"
Mike: "Sounds like a 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!
