If you just write your own application, chances are you'll be fine. It's not a banned word list - it's just words that may make them look more stringently at the rest of the document.
I have my own short list.
- "The truth is"
- "The fact is"
- "The reality is"
I know with absolute certainty that whenever these phrases are used, the next words coming out of the speaker's mouth is not "truth", "fact", or "reality" - but opinion. And probably a shitty, unsupported one at that. Watch for it next time and see if you agree with me.
I do agree with you; and the phrases "to be perfectly honest," "to be frank," and "I tell no word of a lie" are invariably followed by a downright lie.
