Factishional/Factitious - You say it’s true, but you’re so full of trash it’s like you

You say it’s true, but you’re so full of trash it’s like you’re throwing it in people’s faces.

I didn’t hit the dog. I just gave it a little pat. Factitious pat, not actual abuse.

That’s not a story. That’s a factitious tale. I didn’t make it up, I just added a bit of drama.

I didn’t eat the whole cake. I just had a little bite. Factitious bite, not actual gluttony.
