Not sure you're using the word "truthiness" correctly. "Truthiness" refers to something "feeling true" without regard to if it's actually true. http://en.wikip

  Crockford gives us a definition of truthy in Javascript as anything other than one of the six values such as 0 and NaN which evaluate to false. This maybe closer to your parent's intended meaning.

  The original word for that is "verisimilitude." I may be alone in this, but I consider "truthiness" to be something that you want to be true even though it's obviously not true. From where I'm sitting, Mayor Rob Ford being the victim of a "lefty elitist conspiracy" has zero verisimilitude but plenty of truthiness amongst his supporters.
