Definitions
a brief (usually one sentence and usually trivial) news item
Word origin
From fact + -oid (“similar, but not the same”); coined by American writer Norman Mailer in 1973 in Marilyn: A Biography, defined as "facts which have no existence before appearing in a magazine or newspaper, creations which are not so much lies as a product to manipulate emotion in the Silent Majority".
Used in a sentence
“Such hedging is necessitated by the lack of in-depth knowledge of the contents, which also gives free rein to the scripting of unsubstantiated factoids concerning the book.”
“Don't parade in front of the audience spewing every factoid you know on your topic. Only share the right information for that exact moment with that specific audience.”
