wmw999 2,589 #1 November 8, 2006 As Bill has mentioned, the word "hypocrisy" seems to be pretty popular right now. Its meaning may be morphing into "whatever bad the caller means." In other words, if you criticized one person's bad taste in clothing, you'd damn well better criticize every single person you see with bad clothing else you be considered a hypocrite. So I'd like to propose some other words, culled from the thesaurus, to spice things up again. Quoteaffectation, bad faith, bigotry, cant, casuistry, chewing gum, chicken, crocodile tears, deceit, deception, dishonesty, display, dissembling, dissimulation, double-dealing, duplicity, false profession, falsity, fraud, glibness, goop, hooey, imposture, insincerity, irreverence, lie, lip service, mockery, pharisaicalness, pharisaism, phoniness, pietism, pretense, quackery, sanctimoniousness, sanctimony, sham, soft soap, speciousness, spinach, sweet talk, two-facedness, unctuousness Please, let's try to liven up the writing here in SC a little. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

CanuckInUSA 0 #2 November 8, 2006 The Reverend Ted Haggard was nothing more than "crocodile tears" after he confessed to his followers that he's had immoral sexual thoughts his whole adult life. Reverend Haggard was famous for his "soft soap spinach" talk on the "phoniness" of same sex marriage. There are you happy now.
