Receipts definition: what "Receipts" means and examples

February 13, 2026

Documentary evidence, such as screenshots or old messages, used to prove a point or expose a lie.

In the digital age, if you make an accusation, people will ask for "receipts." It means "show me the proof." It’s about accountability and having the data to back up your claims.

Examples:

  1. "She claims she didn't say it, but I’ve got the receipts right here."
  2. "Don't argue with him unless you have the receipts to back it up."
  3. "The journalist published the receipts of the conversation."
