What is the definition of a liar? It is simple. A person who tells lies
is called a liar. This person has lied or has told lies repeatedly until such
label was given.
Apparently, there are many types of
lies depending on the severity of the lie. The Oxford Dictionary even has
categories for different liars! It is true! I am not lying to you!
1. Fib.
Sounds so simple that the person who fibs it is called a fibber. A fibber sounds even better when called as a fibster! This is a form of lying that is
usually forgiven because it is not intended to deceive. Quite an insignificant
or childish lie.
Example:
“Please lah… eat this
carrot oh.. Later you will become clever like Bugs Bunny”
2.
The
second category is a white lie.
This is usually told as a
sort of innocent lie. It is so minor that it is almost undetectable! I am sure
we all have told a white lie. White lies are sometimes used in the interests of
tact or politeness.
Example:
“ Does this skirt makes
my legs look fat?” asked Jennifer.
“Umm.. No.. uh.. I don’t
think so dear” answered her boyfriend.
In this case, both Jennifer
and her boyfriend benefits from that white lie.
3. Bluffing
This is a strategy lie.
It is necessary in sports and playing pokers or mahjong. What is great about
this lie is that the bluffer does not even need to open his/her mouth to lie! In
fact, I don’t think this can harm people’s feelings also.
What? Need example?
Okay okay…
a) Basketball fake shoot, fake passing, fake dribble, ankle breaker…
a) Basketball fake shoot, fake passing, fake dribble, ankle breaker…

b) same goes for pokers
and mahjong… only not using fake cards!!
 |
| "pick a card. Any card..." |
4. Exaggeration
This type of lie is
add-on something fake to something true in order to make it sound very happening
or serious. It is like McD add-on large size (sorry, bad example ;p).
Examples are:
a) OMG! Jennifer! I saw
him dating with 10..no..no.. actually is 20 girls just now!
b) His pimple is very big
oh! Like a golf ball, you know!
5. Cheating/Misleading – deceiver, slickster, prevaricator
This is sort of a
moderate to serious lie, depending on the situation. Making people believe in
another thing. Experienced liars are very good at this technique. Please be
careful. They are harmful in a group working together.
Example:
a) Scoring 62 cp for
pure.. then changed to another Lead Daemon to avoid detection…
b) Tmori told Mitty that
she wanted to go to toilet for a while.
Sitcon appeared and asked “Where is Tmori. I don’t see her around”
Mitty replied “I saw her going away…duno how long o Sitcon… maybe one hour, one day, one week…..”
“WHATTTTT!!!!!??” Sitcon [Enraged]

6. Noble lie
Noble? Lie? How come this
big lie is noble? This is a special and exclusive type of lie that common
people cannot use (eg. Farmers, plumbers, students, mechanics…)
So
who can use this? BIG Politicians of course! They use noble lies to control the
population so that they are docile and [calm]. Where do they learn from to
upgrade to this level? Category 5 of course! If they are trained from young,
they will become even more expert liars when become adults who enter into
politics. This type of liars is too big until no need example.
