What's on your mug?

Definition source

credible

Not [able] to be disproven by [the end] of [the interview].

[Gordon] said, "I have a credible plan to reduce debt while also improving public services"; the interviewer lifted his eyebrows. What Gordon meant was, "I am going to be thrown out next year, and I'[m] going to further ruin the country so that whoever gets in, even an Etonian, will have to make terrible cuts to expenditure - and my mates will soon be back in with all the perks, expenses etc. they can muster! In the two minutes remaining of this interview you can't prove my wheeze will never [work]; and so I get the benefit of the doubt, at least from those to whom an extra £3,000 of [government] debt, per person in the UK, run up in the last six months - to be paid for by taxpayers (none of whom will vote for me anyhow), over the next ten years - matters.Big [government] rules - the man or woman from Whitehall really does know best how to spend your money - all of it. But this year's tax return will be simple. "[Box] A - write your income from all sources for 2009-10; [Box] B, the amount - exactly the same as in [Box] A - for which your cheque to HM Revenue and Customs is attached. Please include, also, a pound of flesh."

This definition is too long for this mug.

Credible

Credible and true are two different things, though it is often implied that credible and true are the same.

A movie is credible, there are are credits given to actors, directors, producers, sound and lighting crews, music, and anyone else involved in making the movie, and yet the movie is still 2 hours or so of unbelievable bullshit trying to pass itself off as believeable, (or feasible, as some would call it) which is really what people are doing when they call something credible. Saying something is credible encourages people not to keep questioning it, stopping just short of telling them they can't question it.
