    sofactic (adj., so FAK tik) -- A response to a question that is heavily laden with unnecessary factual information.

    Ex.: When I asked Matilda if she liked lasagna, she responded with a sofactic answer that included a virtually complete history of her encounters and relationship with Italian cuisine. A simple "No" would have sufficed.

    There were two socks when I switched the dryer on - now one is sofactic

    sofactic [noun SOFF-ak-tik]
    A contraction of "soft tactic," used to describe underhanded political dealings that are not terribly reprehensible.

    I thought that the blogosphere got way too upset when that Senatorial candidate released the embarrassing video of her opponent dancing the Funky Chicken ... it was just a sofactic; I've seen much dirtier campaigns.
