It reminds me a lot of the word "truthiness" coined by Stephen Colbert. It means: "the quality of seeming or being felt to be true, even if not necessarily true."
I think both words reflect the current ontology of factual evidence in our modern politics and social spheres. |

I didn't understand the definition which means, I guess, I wouldn't known the truth if it hit me between the eyes. That is probably why I think I still have an appeal to women |

Well, I'd say a good number of threads in the forums are full of post-truth! |
