Fact sandwich
When someone takes a real fact and sticks a bunch of nonsense on either side to make it look like the truth, but it's just a bunch of bull.
''I got into college because I was born on a Friday and I like pizza.''
''I didn't fail the class, I just had a bad day and then I got distracted by a squirrel.''
''I only skipped class once, then I got a B, so I'm basically perfect.'
