‘Profact’ is short for ‘propaganda-fact,’ a false statement usually presented by a mass media outlet as being a fact, to deceive and condition, trick, and manipulate audiences. Profacts are weaved in between facts, and are almost omnipresent.
Surprisingly, a Macintosh computer’s dictionary’s definition of the word ‘illusion’ stated the following: "The illusion of family togetherness", as an example of that word (2010). That definition is one example of the many ‘profacts’ which permeate society.
Though that definition appears innocuous, in reality it indirectly tells readers that "family togetherness" is an illusion—an anomaly, something rare. Though in reality, "family togetherness" is basic to a healthy family life.
Presenting "the illusion of family togetherness" as an example of the word "illusion" is malicious because it attacks the family by distorting reality, and sets an example and acts as a role model for primarily young people—because they have not lived long enough to spot a lie. Moreover, reading that malicious definition could even begin to dehumanize anyone who believes that false statement.

Get the PROFACTmug. Two or more stupid individuals that are alive, but “stupids” could include the stupid individuals who have passed away.
The quantity of people who often do stupid things, compared to the quantity of people who do not do stupid things, or do them rarely, is growing.
Though probably everyone wishes there were very few or preferably no stupid people, confronted by their presence (which in some ways often emanates their stupidity), and sometimes injured mentally or physically by their stupid actions, we all need to give that group of people a name to help everyone deal with the growing number of what I compassionately call “stupids.”
I wrote, “compassionately,” because God gives each person the amount of intelligence they have.

Get the stupidsmug. A physical gesture or gestures which communicate happiness and appreciation to another person individual or animal. Usually, the person making a body smile also smiles with their lips and face.
A security guard at the residential complex where I live for two-years was always so sweet to me that on several occasions I gave her fruit and even a watermelon cutting knife. After that she treats me even more sweetly. Her behavior made me realize that one reason I like her so much is because when she greets me she positions her limbs in ways that show me she likes me. I call her body's messages body smiles. The singular is body smile.

Get the body smilemug. The cognitive-biased-based belief that those who were born with lighter colored skin are superior in every way.
Skin is a characteristic of a person's race, and a key component of racism. However, skin is only each human being's surface. Character is more important. The successes of astounding musicians and athletes invalidate skinism.

Get the skinismmug. I remember feeling such a strong urge and need to fuck my woman that looking back on it I realize I was in a condition which could be correctly described as temporary insanity. I say that because I remember that in that condition nothing else mattered as much as fucking her. I also remember one evening when I was in our car and the urge I felt to fuck her overrode the urge to eat, and I remember telling her that. I call that condition "temporary insanity sex urge."
