I love vacously truths (not sure if this is how you say it in English)

All the people I've met in London were androids.



The term is correct. Grammatically, we would say, "I love vacuous truths", or, "I love vacuously true statements". (To my ear the second version sounds very slightly more appropriate, because in mathematics "vacuously true" is a bit of a set phrase, but both are fine.)
