middle truth
A statement or affirmation whereby certain related factual content is manipulated and used to support a fallacious position. An example may be a situation in which someone receives a fair use ruling around the rights to intellectual property, and then uses that permission to then produce merchandise based on the IP, whilst informing customers that he has procured the rights to the IP. Comparison to "half truth" - At first glance, middle truth may seem a direct replacement for its related term, half truth. Popular usage, however, seems to indicate a preference for middle truth when using the term to defend past actions. The term half truth implies that the statement is half truth and half "something else", perhaps untruth, whereas middle truth seeks to position the argument on a spectrum made up entirely of truth, but of varying degrees. Therefore a middle truth is being positioned as a truth in the first place, but perhaps one of substandard quality, or even malformed in some way, but in no way polluted by actual lies. This positioning also seeks to identify the deliverer of the middle truth as misinformed or even incompetent at worst, as opposed to malicious or carrying any intent to harm. Comparison to "bullshit" - A closer term may be "bullshit". In the 1980 film The Blues Brothers, Elwood Blues, being accused by his brother of lying to him states, "I didn't lie to you. I just...bullshitted you." and clearly positions himself as "bullshitting" because he cared.

Great idea to be able to offer this quality mug. I wish it would have come with the full text including examples listed on Urban Dictionary but I do love the mug. Just bought my 2nd one. Packaging is duarable and perfect for rough transit.

I wish the text on the back wasn’t so small—if I had to order it over again I would’ve inquired as to whether the words could be enlarged so it filled up more of the “white space” on the back
You guys are fantastic! Will continue to do business with you. Thank you so very much.
Now I have a UD mug! Good quality, nice printing, great definition!
Your company did an excellent job with our order. The beautiful mug with our son's word and definitions arrived in perfect shape, thanks to your outstanding box design! I have never seen a box so cleverly made. I cannot bring myself to recycle it;). The mug will be enjoyed for years to come. Many Thanks, Deborah Crosley Holland and Michael Holland
Got this mug for my daughter and she was taken a back. I explained to her why it was funny, but she didn't seem to understand. Its been a few days since my daughter has talked to me. I'm positive she loves it! I'm hoping to hear from her soon :)
Arrived before my daughter’s birthday, which was good. Not chipped or cracked, so that was good, too. Ichabod Crane looked good on the ferra color.
