In order to understand the meaning of Categorically False, one must understand the Categorical approach to defining crimes. Where there are two crimes that may be similar in nature, but defined differently in different areas (Such as "Burglary" and "Shoplifting") then one may or may not be the same as the other.
For example, State X defines walking into a store in the middle of the day and stealing X amount of product from the shelf as "Burglary". State Y defines the same action as "Shoplifting". It is in a defense attorney's best interest to argue that this conviction, especially as it applies to Federal Law (enhancing sentences based on prior convictions), does not fall in the same category as a specified crime.
So, in practice, it means that a reporter asking someone's opinion of whether or not the charges of "drug smuggling" to a relative are true. The interviewee would respond, "Those charges are categorically false". Meaning, this person did something... but not defined in the way you just asked about.
However, in popular culture, people using the phrase Categorically False simple mean "wholly untrue", which is incorrect.
(From Luke Cage)
Reporter: "Have you been questioned by the NYPD about your cousin?"
Councilwoman Mariah Dillard: "Family first Robin. I love my cousin Cornell Stokes. The charges against him are categorically false..."
The feeling one gets when they see something on social media (usually Twitter or Facebook) that may be interpreted as racist, sexist, transphobic, etc that resembles anger but ultimately they don't really care. They are usually Social Justice Warriors who just wanna promote their own social media accounts by pretending to be outraged.
False rage also needs no evidence or reason. Any statements or actions that have nothing to do with any social or racial group can be interpreted that way to the minds of people that are clouded with delusional thoughts and over-sensitive feelings.
I am sure that all these outraged people on Twitter are just SJWs who don't really care about what was said or done, just reacting to get views and maintain that "holier than thou" attitude they possess. They prefer to ruin people's lives and then not care 15 minutes later. Their false rage disgusts me.
when the pictures of any person on any social website make that person appear extremely sexy, but they are significantly less attractive in person.
guy:"damn, this girl is sexy! look at that ass! i gotta meet this chick"
two days later...
guy: "damn, that girl was sooooo not as attractive in person. she had like, NO ASS. She was false assvertising with her pics.

A Greek Orthodox laity who shows his false humility to the clergy and laity just to gain attention.......as well as an attempt to control people's thoughts.
Come on Michael stop pretending with your false humility and piss off once and for all!!!
The false ego is the idea and concept we create about ourselves in the course of our lives, which typically excludes any qualities we don't wish to accept about ourselves.
"He realized his true self and did not give in to the false ego".

The longing for or reminiscence of an era which you did not actually grow up in, having only experienced the era through it's movies, TV shows, music, etc; not based on actual life experiences.
Most people these days claiming to be 90s kids are full of false nostalgia. They think seeing reruns in 2003 of shows from the 90s is the same as actually wearing the baggy jeans, riveted belt, and homemade tank top rocking your totally-not-natural blonde spiked hair while listening to Nirvana. Or locking yourself in your room full of Nick Carter and Joey Fatone posters, listening to BSB and *NSYNC after finishing up the recent Halloween episode of Boy Meets World.

(In pathological narcissism) A confabulated persona presented to the outer world in order to secure admiration, adulation, and attention. The False Self is omniscient, omnipotent, brilliant, and perfect. It has many psychological functions.
The two most important are:
1. It serves as a decoy, it "attracts the fire". It is a proxy for the True Self. It is tough as nails and can absorb any amount of pain, hurt and negative emotions. By inventing it, the child develops immunity to the indifference, manipulation, sadism, smothering, or exploitation – in short: to the abuse – inflicted on him by his parents (or by other Primary Objects in his life). It is a cloak, protecting him, rendering him invisible and omnipotent at the same time.
2. The False Self is misrepresented by the narcissist as his True Self. The narcissist is saying, in effect: "I am not who you think I am. I am someone else. I am this (False) Self. Therefore, I deserve a better, painless, more considerate treatment." The False Self, thus, is a contraption intended to alter other people's behaviour and attitude towards the narcissist.
- This guy creeps me out. He is so vain, artificial, and a know-it-all!
- It's merely his False Self. Deep inside he is even worse!
