noun: The quality of appearing to be true or real. synonym: truth.
Context implied it but still....Nice word!
24 0 ReplyI'm glad you like it! I like how it's made up of three common and easily-identifiable components: it uses the same root as verify meaning true, the same root as similar meaning "like", with tude being a common suffix like -ness. Basically "true-likeness".

I would try this and say "I'm about to die" by accident and then spend five minutes explaining the mistake and five days thinking about it. No thanks,.

29 1 ReplyHere's one, set an alarm to go off in the middle of a date, pretend it's a phone call and if the date is going badly "take the call" and say you've got to leave. I could say my roommate has forgot their keys and accidentally locked themselves out for example.

And don't just press the red button. Turn on airplane mode so it says connection timeout instead of call ended.
22 0 ReplyI believe the phone does hang up the active call as part of its shutdown routine though. So getting a hangup message is still in line with that.
1 0 ReplyHow about throwing it into a faraday cage? Like the bags used for those transponders for tolls, or wrap it in foil... Or just mute the phone and ignore it.
