Ground-truthing

My dictionary has no entry for truthing.

I stumbled across this hyphenated disease while editing a semi-meaningless document that is driving me to drink tequila. Suppose I ask you to go to Las Vegas and see if the 700 lb Elvis story is true. Is that “ground-truthing” or just an excuse to get out of town and have a good time? Or is it more akin to truth being ground up like coffee beans to become something more truthful?

I'm glad I'm going on vacation very soon, the sooner the better because I'm sure it will just get worser and worser until it’s the woserest that it can be.

My conscience is numb
My bum is rum
My brain is rummy
The hieroglyphics I decipher
Were penned by a rummy mummy.


If I must suffer, so shall you. It’s an old, old, very old story.
