      As a software developer, I actually use “truthy” and “falsy” pretty regularly for “the computer thinks this value is true/false”

        Just remember that even though None is Falsy, an array of Nones is Truthy. Gets me every time. I fucking understand it logically (because the array itself exists) but damnit if I can make my lizard brain comprehend it while coding it.

          because the array itself exists

          More specifically it’s because the array isn’t empty.

            Yup you’re more right than I was. An empty array is still Falsy even though it exists. I accept the correction.

      Oh, that’s good. A new one for me!

      From WordNet (r) 3.0 (2006) [wn]:
      
        vituperative
            adj 1: marked by harshly abusive criticism; "his scathing
                   remarks about silly lady novelists"; "her vituperative
                   railing" [syn: {scathing}, {vituperative}]

        Isn’t that a great word? I used to read a lot of Canadian classic literature and it was often in there.

        Also garrolous is a good word.
