Definitions and meanings of "Debunks"

What do we mean by debunks?

To discredit, or expose to ridicule the falsehood or the exaggerated claims of something.

A word used by people unable to see reality from a point of view other than the one they were indoctrinated into from childhood. It represents the be-all and end-all arguments that close the case once-and-for-all on further discussion of the issue and makes tin-foil hat wearing buffoons of anyone who refuses to see the logic of their disinformation. Urban Dictionary

Commonly used to say something has been proven false. A very popular word for propagandists to convey that a thorough investigation including scientific facts and proof beyond a shadow of doubt have been exhausted to find the truth. But in all reality is just an empty word for shortsighted listeners that in their opinion a view isn't widely accepted. Very common among the main stream media, big pharma shills, and pro vaccine trolls. Urban Dictionary

To expose the shame or falseness of Urban Dictionary

1. Usually, a self claimed internet residing 'know it all' who claims to have the knowledge to flop what he/she perceives as a 'conspiracy theory' on its head. This is often a means for showing off. The complete opposite of a hardcore conspiracy theorist, debunkers usually have little common sense, little or no ability to connect the dots, no respect for common sense and call everything that that is outside their narrow a conspiracy theory. Since they profess to rely on hard evidence so much, this often seeps out of the domain of 'hard evidence', and they begin to fabricate so called 'truths' based primarily on jumping to conclusions and ad hominem attacks. Their favorite tactic is to try to 'get something out of the way' by attempting to embarrass their opponent and call it a done deal. 2. The other type of debunker consists of those who are anti-establishment and attempt to expose mainstream fraud and nonsense for what it is using logic, anecdotal evidence, and supplemental facts and figures. They are commonly insulted with the term 'conspiracy theorist' by those who wish to tarnish their reputations. Although still fallible, anti-establishment 'debunkers' commonly have less of an emotional stake in their arguments, as they have seen the light far more than their naive counterparts. Some do, however, take this too far and become truly raving lunatics. Urban Dictionary
