Yes. Somehow the official 'discussion' has come to be about Sam's armpits,
or his 'credability'.*

One hopes that Judge Judy will insist on an actual conversation, and the law
will be blind to who proposes information, as the Constitution intended.

Rather than of official euphemisms in place of plain speaking, such as;

claims for questions,
liar for don't like,
credability for popularity,
no-hidden agenda for undisclosed contracts,
and if the word 'compare' should emerge,
comparison won't be made with a crab-shack in Maine.

Phil Innes

Not incidentally, *credability, is from a stem~ [L.] Credo, to believe, and
might be contrasted not with dis-believe, but with an examination of facts,
not beliefs, opinion and 'spin'.
