A very small fact. Usually used when one wishes to express what a small fact his fellow peer has just spoken upon.
The word can also be used as an insult, in the simple context of expressing that the speaker of the fact is actually saying such a small fact that it is a factoid, therefore being painfully obvious. Sort of another way of saying no shit sherlock.

Get the factoid mug.A factoid that is false or unsupported by evidence, but gets into public circulation anyway. Once it is repeated and quoted enough times, it gains a life of its own, and people assume it is true because they get it from multiple sources, even though the original source is flawed or unverified, or the information turns out to be false.
One common fictoid is the idea that people need to drink 8 glasses of water a day to be healthy. There's no sound basis for this recommendation, but it is quoted and given as advice frequently.
Recently (as of new years 2009), one of the big news stories has been the collapse of a fraudulent investment fund run by Bernard Madoff, which turned out to be a ponzi scheme. Although it takes months to go through the records to figure out how much money was involved, an initial estimate was that "up to $50 billion dollars may have been lost". Despite the fact that this was an initial best guess rather than the result of actual auditing, and despite the fact that even a clear definition of "money lost" in this case is vague, this $50 billion estimate has become a fictoid, and is being repeated in the press. Plenty of people believe that it is well accepted that $50 billion is the amount of money that was lost in this fraudulent scheme.

Get the fuckoid mug.Fun factoid.
Often a useless piece of information, but can be used as an ice breaker to start conversation.
"Shrimps can only swim backward" or "A ball of glass will bounce higher than a ball of rubber" are both functoids.
