Zombie Fact
A false statement, asserted as a fact, that has been repeatedly and thoroughly debunked, yet still keeps turning up in debate. It takes its name from the zombie movie trope, whereby no matter how many times you shoot a zombie, it just keeps getting up and coming at you.
“The moon landing was a hoax, didn’t you see the flag waving in the breeze?”
