What Does This Mean?
[ SLANG ][ PERCEPTION ][ NOUN ]
The moment someone consciously rewrites how they'll remember or retell an awkward or bad event, choosing a cleaner version before the memory fully sets.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Gave it a full reality refactor before telling the story at dinner, made the whole thing sound intentional."
LORE & ORIGIN
Borrows 'refactor' from programming — cleaning up the underlying structure of a memory without technically changing what happened.
