When someone gets a hard-on for spouting out weird or fake facts just to look smart and act like they know some big secret that everyone else missed.

'Did you know the first president had a pet raccoon? That’s why he lost the war!', said by a guy in a basement forum wearing pajamas.

‘The moon landing was faked! I know this because my uncle’s cousin’s dog said so.’, a tweet from @FactFreak999

‘The Declaration of Independence was written on a napkin. I saw it on a meme.’, DM from a guy who still thinks Donald Trump is president.

‘The Eiffel Tower is made of cheese. That’s why it’s so soft.’, said by a guy who eats cereal for dinner.

‘The pyramids were built by aliens. My science teacher said so.’, from a kid who failed math.

‘The Great Wall of China is actually a giant pizza. I checked Wikipedia.’, said by a guy who still uses dial-up.

It’s when someone shoves random facts in your face like they’re trying to prove they’re smarter than you, even if those facts are total garbage.
