Detriment of the Doubt

1) The opposite of "benefit of the doubt,"

Instead of someone assuming you have the best intentions and are a good person, or that you meant well, they instead assume the opposite; that is to say, they assume you meant them harm, you have bad intentions, are a bad person, and so on.

2) The lack of offering the benefit of the doubt.

3) assuming someone is guilty before proven innocent, instead of the other way around.
Ashley gave Johnny the detriment of the doubt when she assumed that he was an obsessed jerk rather than thinking that there was a misunderstanding on both sides due to both of their actions, which led him to believe he had hurt her and that she was better off without him, and led her to believe that he was showing his true colors after several years of good friendship. They were both wrong, and lost their friendship due to not communicating.

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
