A Factote or totable fact is a fun fact that is meant to be taken away from one's conversation kept with the recipient. The recipient of the factote can then take the fact with them and "pay it forward" by telling someone else.
The term fun fact was coined by Ryan Kennedy.

Get the factored mug.When someone is trying to sound deep or intelligent by posting ridiculously over dramatic philosophies or political views on facebook. They're likely not as smart as they try to put on, or even understand what they just said. Takes the words facebook and Socrates and combines them, which conveniently forms the sound "fake" when spoken. Can also be used to describe someone doing such things outside of facebook or someone sharing political views they likely heard on t.v. or from their parents, seconds before posting/sharing. A common trait among facrotes, is not knowing what you're talking about, or using someone else's words or opinions as your own, without actually researching the subject.

Get the factotumised mug.On such jobs a factotum becomes tired. They experience weariness beyond fatigue. They say mad, brilliant things. Out of my head, I cussed and talked and cracked jokes and sang. Hell boils with laughter.
