That's *deliberately* misleading.

Back in my day, we called that "lying" and people that did that "liars." Sometimes, we'd say their pants were on fire.

Haha, yeah, you're right. Instead of breaking out the italics and typing seven whole syllables (eight in some accents), there's the word "lying." Oops.

And then we say " twenty three skidoo" and go get a soda pop. Ah simpler times.... But yes sometimes we even called them f*#king liars
