Myth, cont'd
- Also, an untrue or popular tale, a rumour (colloq.).
- 1963 Brit. Jrnl. Sociol. XIV. 27 We use myth in a sense a little different from the popular one. To us it does not mean an untrue or impossible tale, but a tale which is told to justify some aspect of social order or of human experience. (Chuck Friedman)
