Truthiness?

"Truthiness" has been voted the word of 2005. I've never heard it before, I don't think.

Michael Adams, a professor at North Carolina State University who specializes in lexicology, said "truthiness" means "truthy, not facty. The national argument right now is, one, who's got the truth and, two, who's got the facts," he said.

One more step towards an Orwellian reality, I guess.

Truthiness was a word created by Steven Colbert as the word of the night on the debut episode of the Colbert Report. In fact I like that you picked up on the Orwellian aspect because the bit was actually a satire on both on Bill O' Reilly and some of the aspects of the Bush administration.
