Get the correcto mug.Like, when you're so sure of something, your verbal affirmation sounds like you're about to bust out some Sound of Music.
Dudebro: So, what you're saying is... you're saying what I keep saying you're saying, even though you won't say it?

Get the Captain Correcto mug.That one person who has to correct everybody on their grammar, spelling, pronunciation of words or any trivial fact that may be off by 1%. We all know and have this person in our lives.

Get the Corrector mug.1. Espousing, supporting, defending, or professing as good any matter of action ideology religion or belief which you know nothing about in order to appear intelligent, informed, humane, noble, or prestigious.
2. The action of righteously stating one’s position on a matter without sufficient research or knowledge to be responsibly making such statements.
3. The habit of irresponsibly making claims on a debatable issue without the work of educating oneself beforehand; the goal is to look good in the eyes of others.
4. Dishonestly speaking as if knowledgeable about an issue with a firm public statement of opinion. It has the effect of disserving the public discourse on an issue by disregarding verifiable facts.
5. Posing as informed on a topic in order to get others to admire you.

Polignorant correctness scenarios:
Stating at a dinner party, "Global warming is a myth!" without checking the science behind the claims of the scientists. The speaker gives the impression that they have a wealth of knowledge on the subject.
Commentator on a news channel saying, "Islam is a peaceful religion" without researching the scriptural basis for the Islamic terrorist actions that just occurred. The commentator gets to appear understanding and humane without any research required.
Professing "All cultures and societies are equal in merit and achievment" as if one had extensively studied and found that to be the case. The speaker looks understanding and vastly educated.

n.
A step-by-step problem-solving procedure, especially an established, computational procedure to transmogrify incorrect answers into answers found in the back of textbooks.
X = Fғ ∙ Xᴜ + Cғ
where
Fғ = Fudge Factor,
Xᴜ = the undesired answer,
Cғ = Finagle’s Constant
The Fudge Factor is simply the number, 0, and Finagle’s Constant is the answer in the back of the book (or any other answer that might be preferred instead of the current answer.)

Let’s take this baby out for a spin & see how it works...
Suppose you’ve been asked to solve
eˣ ⁺ ³ = 5
which requires the use of a natural logarithm which you don’t know how to do because you spent your time in your high school math class doing EHAP homework & texting your friends who are now sitting in the same junior college remedial math class you are.
Since you have no chance of using the $200 TI-89 that mommy & daddy bought you to actually solve this equation, you instead use it like a $10 TI-15 & find a brute force, guess-and-check, decimal solution of x = -1.39 . Whew!
You look in the back of the book & see the answer is “-3 + ln 5”. Dang! You’re screwed because this teacher means business & only accepts answers showing all work & matching the answer in the back of the book.
Not so fast… now’s the time to pull out the *Correct Answer Algorithm*…
X = Fғ ∙ Xᴜ + Cғ
Fғ = Fudge Factor = 0
Xᴜ = the undesired answer = -1.39
Cғ = Finagle’s Constant = -3 + ln 5
X = Fғ ∙ Xᴜ + Cғ
= (0) ∙ (-1.39) + (-3 + ln 5)
= 0 + (-3 + ln 5)
= -3 + ln 5
Voilà! A "solution" showing "work" that produces the correct answer!
While this transmogrification works 100% of the time, you do run the risk of pushing your teacher to the point of mumbling stuff like "Well, even if you did show all your work, it isn't the 'Correct' work", "Only three years till retirement", or correctly identifying you as an incorrigible smart ass.
