Or nword as I have previously mentioned. This time it's constensible, which would function as the converse to ostensible (i.e. the word would mean demonstrably true or real instead of plausible).

I overuse the word ostensible. It's tough not to. Recently, I was re-telling a story about a homeless man. However, before I labeled the man homeless, my mind thought, "what if he isn't homeless, what if he's just wearing ragged clothes and is a bit disheveled for other reasons?" So, before my mouthed plopped out "homeless," it plopped out "ostensibly homeless."

Which make me think -- when it comes to people and behavior, isn't everything ostensible? If so, ostensible should be implied, and constensible should be used in cases requiring delineation of authenticity.

While waiting for life that sucks to die, why not listen to my favorite unsigned bands: TQ's Garage Band Playlist.
