SATURDAY MORNING AT THE BIRD FEEDER AND WORD OF THE DAY

Word of the Day: “mendacious”

Pronounced: men.day.shuhs

  “A mendacious child squirrel says, 

“I will never steal the birds’ food again.”

Squirrel Mom says,

“I can tell that’s a fib.  Your nose always twitches when you tell a fib. Are your pants on fire?”

“Oh Mommy!”

Squirrel Moms always have a way of knowing.

Now this definitely does not apply to our squirrel, as his little white lies are not malicious.  They just relate to his hunger. However, the word "mendacious" means as follows:

“People may tell "white lies" if they forgot your birthday or really don't like your new haircut, but if you catch someone intentionally manipulating you with a falsehood, that person is just plain mendacious. So, think of the most deceptive, insincere, perfidious, duplicitous, false person you've ever met, and then add the word mendacious to that list.”

And now we know.

Thank you, I appreciate you stopping by and appreciate the comments too.  I am frequently late returning visits these days, but I promise I'll get there soon. 

Have a great weekend everyone!
