Truthiness

You know what it means. It's not truth. It's what you believe, based on a gut feeling. You just KNOW it, that's all.
And, it's the American Dialect Society's word of the year, coined by fake newsman Steve Colbert.
Truthiness is next to Godliness. God lives in Truthy, and the messages He sends me through football games are just a glass of wine, bowl of onion dip and potato chip away. My mother is the leader of a small cult of Truthys, and she wears a white habit, the official uniform of crazy.
Truthiness tells Sunnis to kill Shiis, even though they're both Muslims. Truthiness has told the English to hang onto their last little vestige of imperialism in Northern Ireland. Truthiness tells Arabs to hate Jews, and vice versy.
Before this year, I always thought it was a good idea to believe in something, because it's good to think of oneself as being loved by a big powerful somebody. No more.
Truthiness is actually next to Deviliness.
I can't prove it.
I just KNOW it's true.
