Snope-A-Dope 

The mental gymnastics that Snopes.com does in order to tell you something is “unproven” or “false” . The claim might be true, but they will find any stipulation they can in order to make it “unproven” or “False” . This is usually attributed to their progressive bias.

Here’s a prime example of a Snope-A-Dope

Claim
Chelsea Wolfe, a freestyle BMX biker who is the first transgender woman to join the U.S. Olympic team, said on Facebook she hopes to win the competition so that she can “burn a U.S. flag on the podium.”

Context
Wolfe did not deny authoring the Facebook post when given the opportunity by Snopes and others, but neither did she confirm it. Although a screenshot of the alleged post exists, that post does not currently appear on Wolfe's Facebook page. Since we have no way to independently verify the authenticity of the screenshot, we rate this claim as "Unproven."

Dope Slope

2. A temporary gravitational phenomenon where someone bends at the waist like they’re inspecting invisible ants on the sidewalk... for hours.
