Fibdom

/ˈfɪbdəm/ noun

Definition

The realm, kingdom, or practice of fibs and lying; the world of small falsehoods treated as an amusing or social domain.

Etymology

From 'fib' combined with the suffix '-dom' (as in kingdom, dukedom, officialdom), creating a humorous abstract noun for the dominion of fibbing.

Kelly Says

Fibdom is a brilliantly playful word—it treats lying like a whole kingdom with rules and inhabitants, which is exactly how it feels when you notice someone consistently fibs. English -dom words let us turn abstract concepts into imaginary empires.
