Lying Style

While reading through my monthly 7JD purchase of Glamour, I stumbled across an article that made me think...yeah if you can believe that is possible from Glamour! In it, we were given four statements, and you choose that one that applies to your lying style, its supposed to be one of those find out what your fibs say about you. Anyho, the four options were:

1. I'd tell a friend they look great, even if they didn't, so to save their feelings.
2. I'd pretend I'd done exciting things at the weekend to impress my colleagues.
3. If I didn't know the answer to something, I'd rather make it up than admit ignorance.
4. I'd blame someone else at work for my mistakes to make myself look better.

They then gave names to each-The Diplomatic Liar, The Ambitious Liar, the Blagger, and finally The Malicious Liar.
So after thinking about for a millisecond, I confessed to being number 3, The Blagger...bullshitter in other words. I know that about myself from quite a while, and if any of you know me, then you would have guessed it was that one, before I just declared it.
So blagger's, are bright, articulate people, which is why our lies are so convincing-am loving the article till now...then it goes downhill...turns out I lie because I have low self-esteem and lie to gain popularity...hmmmmm...then it goes on to give us advice "Truth Time". The trick is to know your limits: we all bluff but stop if you find your lies getting more elaborate" Dr. Gill says "Ask yourself, why?" LOL
I then went on the ever trustworthy Google, and put in blaggers, and pressed I'm Feeling lucky, I was sent to Dementlieu Punk Archive, where this is a band from 1988, that was called Blaggastyle! They were a openly left wing, anti-fascist skinhead band. Then I went to Wikipedia, and found words that mean the same thing, BullShit, Tall tale, HorseShit, Gobbledygook, Hogwash, and Gibberish, to name just a few. Then there was the book-which I own-called On Bullshit, by Harry Frankfurt, in it he states that the liar knows and cares about the truth and intentionally goes out of their way to mislead, while the bullshiter does not care about the truth and is only seeking to impress!! He fixes the blame for the prevalence of bullshit in modern society upon anti-realism and upon the commonality of situations in which people are expected to speak or have settled opinions without knowing what they're talking about.
Does this mean that blogs are the heaven of Blaggers? I for one would agree with that, and am proud of being part of the blagger blogs!!!
