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

Me: *Googles it, sees hes correct* that's a Dad Fact!
