What is Factinista?


1.

A person, or group of people, who spend their lives telling others what is or is not a fact, based on what they have read in books.

Coined by Steven Colbert during a brilliant monologue at the White House Correspondents Dinner.

Ladies and gentlemen of the press corps, Madame First Lady, Mr. President, my name is Stephen Colbert and tonight it's my privilege to celebrate this president. We're not so different, he and I. We get it. We're not brainiacs on the nerd patrol. We're not members of the factinista. We go straight from the gut, right sir? That's where the truth lies, right down here in the gut. Do you know you have more nerve endings in your gut than you have in your head? You can look it up. I know some of you are going to say "I did look it up, and that's not true." That's 'cause you looked it up in a book.

See fact, bush, colbert, wordanista, fair and balanced
