Fictional Materials for OED

[Robin Hamilton]

            "Don't truth me."

Def:  Don't force on my attention an inconvenient truth.

1959.

<<
"Don't truth me," said Boaz in his thoughts, "and I won't truth you." It was
a plea he had made
several times to Unk.
Boaz had invented the plea, and its meaning was this: Unk was to stop
telling Boaz truths
about the harmoniums, because Boaz loved the harmoniums, and because Boaz
was nice enough
not to bring up truths that would make Unk unhappy.

Most of the google hits, and all of the gogglebooks hits, refer back
directly or indirectly to Vonnegut, so the phrase may not be completely
feral.
