    Could we implement an on the spot shooting for every person who punctuates a sentence with the word fact?

    Person: Ireland is a shithole. Fact!

    My Gun: Bang Bang!

    It could work, no?

    Not as bad as people who say literally.
    e.g.
    "I literally died of embaressment"

    No you didnt, or else your a zombie.

    The word "really" never seems to get to people much, even though it is overused and it does imply the same thing as the word "fact".

    I agree OP, the word "fact" is pretty much redundant these days. Nothing ever actually happens, it's always just "allegedly" happening :(

    Is that a FACT?
