Truthiness
‘Truthiness’ is a term coined by Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report on Comedy Central on the premiere episode of the show. He used it to mean not something that you know with your head or read in books, but something you know with your “gut”. Watch the clip:
Well, the word ‘truthiness’ was pronounced the Word of the Year for 2005 (Merriam-Webster) and 2006 (American Dialect Society). It’s Crumbelievable!
If you haven’t seen The Colbert Report, go watch it! Pure satire (with some news thrown in).
