Mindfact - (n.)Something that you believe to be absolutely, undoubtedly true, regardless of the presence or absence of any evidence proving it so, and despite any and all evidence that is contrary.

Usage - place the word at the end of any statement of opinion. - (i.e. Albert Pujols is a terrible baseball player. Mindfact.)

I was going to submit this to Urban Dictionary but I need 5 synonyms. I'm totally drawing a blank. Help and let me know what to use as a pseudonym. I'm not trying to take credit for something I didn't come up with. I guess I could use sportsnyan? or Assclown?

Is there a point to that?

I know of at least one person who routinely gets here via google search

If we are content with that version, I'll submit it. Kinda want the blessings of the Chief and everyone else. Once submitted I don't think it can be changed.

Mindfacts are serious business.

The Chief · « **Reply #36:** October 07, 2011, 02:07:54 PM »

Should there be a link to sportsfan's original post? Or is something like that even possible?

Terpfan76 · « **Reply #37:** October 07, 2011, 02:10:38 PM »

I don't know if I can do that or not. I'll try.

Mindfact - (n.)Something that you believe to be absolutely, undoubtedly true, regardless of the presence or absence of any evidence proving it so, and despite any and all evidence that is contrary.

Isn't that the definition of "faith"?

It took you 5 1/2 minutes to track down that link? Late night last night or something? Not quite on your game.

Update:

Mindfact
(n.)Something that you believe to be absolutely, undoubtedly true, regardless of the presence or absence of any evidence proving it so, and despite any and all evidence that is contrary.
place the word at the end of any statement of opinion. - (i.e. Albert Pujols is a terrible baseball player. Mindfact.)

Origin:

Assclown: what does that matter? They do not know the entire Nationals system as well as I and others on here do and that is fact.

Linty: Prove it. If it's a fact you should have no problem doing so.

Assclown: how can I prove it?

I don't see why I need to anyways. I don't care what anyone thinks. It is a fact in my mind.

Again, isn't this the definition of "faith", like in Webster's dictionary? I would suggest you need something else in there to differentiate the definition of "mindfact" from "faith".
As in "mindfact" is a form of tunnel vision, where the person......and so on....
Just a suggestion you might consider.......

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truthiness

Quote

Truthiness is a "truth" that a person claims to know intuitively "from the gut" or that it "feels right" without regard to evidence, logic, intellectual examination, or facts.[1]

DPMOmaha · « **Reply #49:** October 07, 2011, 02:36:17 PM »

Faith isn't necessarily the absence of evidence. It's the absence of proof. But I agree, there are some very strong similarities between the two "definitions".
