Pants On Fire
I googled ‘liar’ this morning.
Why ?
I was curious.
Why was I curious ?
Because stretchers of the truth have always intrigued me
& so,
I typed
L I A R
& Google, with all it’s wisdom replied,
‘a person who tells lies’
uh
yep
but what else, Obvious ?
I need more.
1. someone who represents one set of facts, while knowing that a
different set of facts prevails;
2. (popular) someone who having led others to believe one thing, does
a different thing; a promise-breaker;
3. (colloquial) someone whose general conduct, level of reliability,
relationship with truth, and past performance leave him or her with
little to no credibility in peoples’ opinion;
& then I took a stroll down Memory Lane, where all the doozies I have told live
& yes,
I did
& sometimes, still do.
White lies, mostly
& btw,
- a harmless or trivial lie, especially one told to avoid hurting someone’s feelings.
