More about David Mamet
Mentioned in e006 by Amy Crider, David Mamet is a great, Pulitizer-prize winning, American playwright. Want to learn more? Try wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Mamet
His unique style of writing has evolved into a trope, of sorts, called Mamet Speak. This type of speaking is unequivocally modern: fast-paced, tough-talking, jargon-filled, overlapping, colloquial and usually filled with expletives. It is also notoriously hard to memorize for the actors, and is considered to require more from an actor than the average script since little is said (usually not even full sentences) but much has to be determined and then conveyed.

From the mind of Eustace Allen, FACTOID is a delicious blend of zeitgeist and sketch comedy, told you in audio form.
From Source: Are 'Factoids' the Same as 'Facts'?
According to Merriam-Webster, the term factoid was probably coined by Normal Mailer in 1973.
