Someone who denies this fact is once again reinforcing this statement !!
Thesaurus defines lie as prevarication / untruth / falsehood. When you say lie it mostly sounds harmless but when you delve into the meaning suddenly it seems a sinister demon. Some lies are of no importance.. some change our lives and yet others bring in a tangy twist in our lives. Some leave us speechless and some let the gossip mills running defying that fact that light travels faster than sound !!
We all lie for various reasons and whats more interesting is how we justify our lies. Below are some classic types of lies am sure most of us have used some or all.
“ Dont want to hurt his / her feelings” lie
GF / BF / Spouse to their partners
“Na you dont look fat / ugly / gaudy in that dress”
(baby that you look by default !!)
“Save your ass” lie
kid to mother
“ No mother I did not eat any chocolate”.
And then you muse philosophically, licking off the chocolate from your mouth, if your ma has connections with Sherlock Holmes when she spanks you !!
“Screw Him / Her / Them” lie
Pointing fingers at enemy / enemies with dramatic yelling with loathsome expressions
“He / She / They did it”
without having any clue whats all this about
“Lets humor this hot lier” lie
Hot Blond in the bar says “ I can jump off the 1st floor without hurting myself.”
Geek replies “ Oh my are you super girl in disguise, tell me more about you in my car, am all ears.”
“Utterly Buttering” lie
this is used mainly on Bosses (works for all kinds of bosses with equal effective rate be it home or office)
“Sir / Madam you have an amazing personality.”
I am amazed they still keep you here instead of museum
“ Topi Pehenao” lie (Pull a hat lie)
all marketing professionals (barring me !!) use this.. another lie
“ My product is the best” (only under test conditions !!!)
Well one is the hot favs with most politicians
“I mean the opposite” lie
Juliet to Romeo
“ Please dont follow me.”
Please follow me and proclaim to me and the entire world how much you love me
Very dangerous one. Cause for many unpleasant experiences.
“Shine maro”lie also known as “Dilli wala” lie
Girl to her friend
“ These Gucci glasses are from the limited edition.”
Sure buddy, Gucci of chandnichowk aint got them many
“JLT” lie (Lie Just Like that)
this one is used by Obsessive Compulsive Liar who does n't need a reason to lie
“Bully” lie
mother to child “ Souja beta varna gabbar aa jayega”
“Child go to sleep or else the Green witch will come”
need I explain more !!
quite a list eh ?
Some people carry off lies better than facts. It must take a lot of self confidence or sheer cockiness to do it. Or may be its the years of practice that they invested in now shows excellent results. Some are so bad at it that they realize its better to shut up than lie. Some use lie to make their life bearable and some use it to add drama to their lives and yet others to cut the drama out.
But then what is life without a little bit of lie.. boring !! so add the spice of lie with moderation like tadka in bland dal.
