kenobi

Verb. From the Star Wars movies, "to kenobi" is to tell the truth by using words that mean something quite different to the listener than they mean to the speaker, as in Obi-Wan Kenobi's "Darth Vader betrayed and murdered your father" when Darth Vader, is, in fact, the father of the listener.
