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. Urban Dictionary

1. A term frequently used by politicians when accused of something scandalous. It means: "I did it, but as long as there's no smoking gun I will deny it completely." Most such scandals involve illicit sex, bribery, influence peddling or misuse of public funds. 2. A worn-out public relations phrase that nobody believes anymore. Nixon's famous remark -- "I am not a crook" -- sounds positively Shakespearian in comparison. Urban Dictionary

People who fall into one or another category and thus may be eligible for public assistance. Urban Dictionary

A definition with teeth. Professors will have you study this forever. Here's what you need to know. It means what it sounds like: an imperative (commandment) that you either follow, or you'll be reclassified as immoral. Kant had his, and many people think his was the only one, but it's not true. A categorical imperative is a definition-based morality. Even the Utilitarians use them. Urban Dictionary

1) A totaly meaningless phrase 2) What someone important about a truth to try and get out of it. 3) "I'm lying" Urban Dictionary

To not only deny something, but to imply that such an action is in a category of things that they would never partake in. Another way of saying "I didn't do it, and I wouldn't ever do anything like that." Urban Dictionary

For such a thing to exist, there must also exist its inseparable opposite. It's, very clearly, a non admission admission, that's synonymous with "compartmentalization", which is where we must look for an in depth understanding of its true meaning. Urban Dictionary
