Falsiness - the counterpart of Truthiness, a term apparently coined by Stephen Colbert. After the AP failed to credit him for the word's invention, he said the AP was the "No. 1 threat facing America." The original AP article had this to say about the meaning of truthiness: It is "the quality of stating concepts one wishes or believes to be true, rather than the facts." They also quote a lexicology professor, Michael Adams, who said it meant "truthy, not facty".

What's so great about falsiness and truthiness is that they are related, but not opposites, unlike True and False.

FUBAR - Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition. Example: Man, the separation of powers in this country is totally FUBAR.
