Give an example of an untrue statement people make?
For example when somebody says 'I hate to tell you this, but.....' (they can't wait to tell you)

My favorite among many:
"Of course I'll respect you in the morning!"

Not all of these are true. I'm not sure about all of them, but I'll point out the ones I'm certain are false. Mythbusters, which is notoriously unscientific, demonstrated the ability to "train" goldfish, implying their memory capacity is greater than 3 seconds. Sharks' eyelids are fixed so they can't blink per se, but they do possess what is called a nictating membrane to protect the eyes when feeding. Kneecaps develop while in the womb. Even if February 1865 is the only month not to have a full moon (which I doubt) it's really just a matter of probability as to when it will happen again. New animals most certainly have been domesticated, though perhaps not in the forms you might imagine. We generally think in terms of big things like cows, but in recent years we've created bomb-sniffing bees, plump salmon for fisheries, and presumably a lot of other things which don't immediately come to my mind. Moreover, we've domesticated a whole host of new plants in just the last century. The QE2's fuel consumption probably depends on what she's doing at the moment, just in the same way your car uses more gas when you're accelerating. In the middle of a cruise with all her momentum, I doubt this figure. Though Niagra Falls has frozen solid, it was in 1848, not 1932. That's not to say it didn't (and doesn't) get pretty icy. Women and men blink at an average of 10 times a minutes. No difference there. Hope that helps.

"I know you don't want to hear this", or "I have to tell you this for your own good", or "I just had to tell you this".
I find people like this are usually toxic.

My favourite is an apology that is worded like this, "I'm sorry...but..."
