urban legend

The best of Amélie’s schemes — one that appropriates an old urban legend — is the one that isn’t explained until the end.

Most of the stories were tall tales and urban legends told to entertain or to score some popularity.

Soon, however, conservatives circulated urban legends that it was white people who were the victims.

Now the "furry" urban legend is adding more fuel to the fire.

Sure, the so-called theory of dad strength — gains in physical strength and stamina that some new dads seemingly experience upon entering fatherhood — might be more of a playful urban legend than scientifically proven fact.
