Wednesday word of the Week

Wednesday word of the week. Yeah I know, I’ve already posted today, but Thursday word of the week just didn’t have the same ring to it, and I just like words.

I’d never heard of this word before, so if you’re way smarter than me let me know!

Mendacity, according to the folks over at Dictionary.com it means that you are a big fat liar liar pants on fire. Okay, so they don’t put it exactly like that.

“men·dac·i·ty

  [men-das-i-tee]

noun, plural -ties for 2.

1.

the quality of being mendacious; untruthfulness; tendency to lie.
2.

an instance of lying; falsehood.”

So there you go good people, Mendacity. Stop lying.
