That which is false; falsehood; a lie; a false assertion.                         Men often swallow falsities for truths. --Sir T.                                                                               Brown.          Syn: Falsehood; lie; deceit.          Usage: {Falsity}, {Falsehood}, {Lie}. Falsity denotes the                   state or quality of being false. A falsehood is a                   false declaration designedly made. A lie is a gross,                   unblushing falsehood. The falsity of a person's                   assertion may be proved by the evidence of others and                   thus the charge of falsehood be fastened upon him.

flag day n.   A software change that is neither forward- nor    backward-compatible, and which is costly to make and costly to    reverse.   "Can we install that without causing a flag day for all    users?"   This term has nothing to do with the use of the word {flag}    to mean a variable that has two values.   It came into use when a    massive change was made to the {{Multics}} timesharing system to    convert from the short-lived 1965 version of the ASCII code to the    1967 version (in draft at the time); this was scheduled for Flag Day    (a U.S. holiday), June 14, 1966.   See also {backward combatability}.
