👉 The term 'above reported' is a misnomer; it doesn't even have any definition to speak of. It's a term that originated from the concept of exaggeration and not actually reporting something directly but just mentioning its existence for comedic effect.
Here’s an amusing example: "Yesterday, I was going through my garage when I stumbled upon this 'above reported' note. It read, ‘I found your car under a tree this morning! I need to report it!’" This joke is meant as a tongue-in-cheek way of poking fun at the idea that reporting something you haven't actually done or experienced would be considered "reportable" in some context. Just like a person who's been arrested and then denied a job because they didn't commit any crime, we're all just trying to fit in with the 'above reported' culture. In truth, there are no reports of anything beyond what you're reporting! This is an understatement, but a harmless joke nonetheless, right?
