Not able to be disproven by the end of the interview.
Gordon said, "I have a credible plan to reduce debt while also improving public services"; the interviewer lifted his eyebrows.
What Gordon meant was, "I am going to be thrown out next year, and I'm going to further ruin the country so that whoever gets in, even an Etonian, will have to make terrible cuts to expenditure - and my mates will soon be back in with all the perks, expenses etc. they can muster! In the two minutes remaining of this interview you can't prove my wheeze will never work; and so I get the benefit of the doubt, at least from those to whom an extra £3,000 of government debt, per person in the UK, run up in the last six months - to be paid for by taxpayers (none of whom will vote for me anyhow), over the next ten years - matters.Big government rules - the man or woman from Whitehall really does know best how to spend your money - all of it. But this year's tax return will be simple. "Box A - write your income from all sources for 2009-10; Box B, the amount - exactly the same as in Box A - for which your cheque to HM Revenue and Customs is attached. Please include, also, a pound of flesh."

Used in place of the word legit, to express that something is cool or hip. It represents a higher level of coolness since it's not just legitimate, but its credible too.

Person 2: That kid is so credible

Credible

Share definition Flag
Credible and true are two different things, though it is often implied that credible and true are the same.
A movie is credible, there are are credits given to actors, directors, producers, sound and lighting crews, music, and anyone else involved in making the movie, and yet the movie is still 2 hours or so of unbelievable bullshit trying to pass itself off as believeable, (or feasible, as some would call it) which is really what people are doing when they call something credible. Saying something is credible encourages people not to keep questioning it, stopping just short of telling them they can't question it.

Someone or something whose words, ideas, or notions are considered to be veritable and factual. Urban Dictionary is not one of these.
The idea that Urban Dictionary is a credible source is laughable, at best.

is someone who is most likely an expert in the specific field which they are writing about. They have either spent a lot of time studying on, around, or in this field, as well as studying the works of other professionals.
This person would have left no stone unturned in their search for the most accurate information, and usually a great deal of respect from their peers and superiors. This is all very important, as it helps to provide that there is truth behind the information, and that it is fairly accurate and trustworthy as well. Which leads us to why it is necessary to use credible sources in our work. It will add strength and "weight" to our writing, allowing our readers some degree of comfort that what they the information contained within is correct.
