Smells like Truth, Must be Truth
Verisimilitude. A literary term.
Say it. Feel it in your mouth. And whenever you have the urge to say something like, "Well, this has the appearance of truth." say instead, "I can appreciate the verisimilitude." This is a guess, but I think it's a combination of 'attitude'(aptitudinem), 'similar'(similis) and 'veracity'(veris), that is to say that something has an 'attitude similar to truth' or verisimilitude.
Other words that are cool:
Effluvium
Arcane
Concatenation
Lachrymose
Gloaming
...but I wouldn't try using them all in the same sentence.

"This arcane effluvium that we see, at the gloaming of the day, could not cause such a concatenation..." and he paused here and then added, "...or, I think, your lachrymose attitude."
