FALSE READ
  1. if a rud gets any comment, natter or protest or bewilderment, put in false and clean it. "Has anyone said you had a . . . when you didn't have one?" is the answer to protested ruds. (HCOB 15 Aug 69)
  2. thinking something read which really didn't. Protest can then give you a read. Clean up questions with "protest," "suppress," "invalidate" buttons where pc says there's nothing there. (BTB 6 Jun 68R)
