Facts
Significado: A one-word affirmation meaning 'that's absolutely true' or 'I completely agree.'
Using 'facts' as a standalone response is the American way of saying 'that's undeniably true.' It's stronger than 'true' or 'I agree' because it elevates the statement to the status of an indisputable fact. Often written as 'facts' or 'big facts' for extra emphasis.
