- A granfalloon, in the fictional religion of Bokononism (created by Kurt Vonnegut in his 1963 novel Cat's Cradle), is defined as a "false karass". That is, it is a group of people who affect a shared identity or purpose, but whose mutual association is meaningless. As quoted in And So It Goes: Kurt Vonnegut: A Life (2011) by Charles J. Shields, Vonnegut writes in his introduction to Wampeters, Foma and Granfalloons (1974) that a "granfalloon is a proud and meaningless collection of human beings"; Shields also comments that in the same book, Vonnegut later cites the demonym of 'Hoosiers' as "one of [Vonnegut's] favorite examples" of what the term embodies. Another example of a granfalloon given in Cat's Cradle is 'alumni of Cornell University'. Kurt Vonnegut himself was born in Indiana and attended Cornell University. (en)
- Een granfalloon is een sociale groep mensen die kiezen voor of aanspraak maken op een gedeelde identiteit of doel, maar waarvan de onderlinge vereniging betekenisloos is. Het begrip is afkomstig van uit de roman Cat's Cradle van Kurt Vonnegut uit 1963. (nl)
- Granfalloon, na religião fictícia do "Bokononismo" (criada por Kurt Vonnegut para sua novela Cama de Gato, de 1963), é um "falso karass". Ou seja, é um grupo de pessoas que afeta um senso compartilhado de identidade ou propósito, mas cuja associação mútua é sem significado. (pt)
