shit talking

Those shit talking scumbags just wasted a whole five minutes of my life complaining about someone who I could really give a shit less

truth

Something which would probably upset a great many of people if it were known and made public.

Truthfully speaking, most people have no idea of what the truth actually is.

now....Websters version:

truth

noun \ˈtrüth\

the truth : the real facts about something : the things that are true
: the quality or state of being true

: a statement or idea that is true or accepted as true.

I've found that a great many people confuse shit talking with the truth.  Many times when people are told the truth about a situation, or about themselves it is instantly regurgitated as someone was "talking shit" as if to imply that what they are saying is a lie when in fact it is just a painfully honest observation.  I've also found that this occurs the most with young adolescent white males who fancy themselves street gangster rappers.
