Theremin Lip-Sync Scandal

If I was.. or anyone was to say they have never told a lie.......

so just to set the record straight. If we can agree on merriam websters

Liar - a person who tells lies.....  Well, I cannot honestly say I am not one of those.

My statements make me a liar... Well... if there was a statement that I could say that would make me not a liar it would probably be very oxymoronic. Much like a gigantic atom or a tiny universe thus being eloquent gibberish of a brillig nature that when chortled would gamble in the wabe for the snicker snack of a vorpal sword. 

AHHH Pedantic.

The thing I love most about pedantic are the antics. Its like dancing all over a topic with two left feet. Hence Ped- Feet... and Antics - absurdity. Ahhh how I love pedantics. So let us jabberwock on the wild side.

Give it to me Maestro!

Absolutely agree - every person on earth capable (as in, old enough to talk ;-) will at some time tell a deliberate lie.. and most (if not all) will continue to do so for the rest of their lives - certainly when circumstances "force" them to do so (albeit, most are "harmless" "white" lies, like "yeah - your theremin playing is really coming on.." ;-)

Then there are those who cannot differentiate between telling lies and not telling them - unsure whether these are "liars" or not.. Then there are those who know they are lying but can do so without conscience, and there are those who make a career out of lying, like car salesmen, insurance salesmen, bankers, estate agents, politicians and - top of the list probably- lawyers.

But "lies" are not, I think, restricted to others - perhaps the most dangerous lies, IMO, are those we tell ourselves.. These can become our "truth"..

And the pain that we can bring to him
I don't think he could beat
Please don't ask me how I know
I've just been up that street
And all the people living there
Have been silenced by their own lies
A man's a man who looks a man right between the eyes

" - Graham Nash.  (Crosby Stills Nash + Young)

 Completely unrelated to this discussion but being on the CSN+Y you-tube page, my probably favorite song  showed up - and I must give the link: Southern Man. IMO, every aspect of this song is breathtaking - but if there is anything which 'grabs' me more than anything else, its the percussion.. the timing is so incredibly tight yet fluid.. This song inspired me to get a kit and take drumming lessons for a year (I gave up - Hand drumming a Djembi was a lot easier than a full kit..) Its from whats probably my favorite album.

From Wikipedia : (the natural on-line home of pedants and bullshitters)

Etymology

The English language word "pedant" comes from the French pédant (used in 1566 in Darme & Hatzfeldster's Dictionnaire général de la langue française) or its older mid-15th Century Italian source pedante, "teacher, schoolmaster". (Compare the Spanish pedante.) The origin of the Italian pedante is uncertain, but multiple dictionaries suggest that it was contracted from the mediaeval Latin pædagogans, present participle of pædagogare, "to act as pedagogue, to teach" (Du Cange). The Latin word is derived from Greek παιδαγωγός, paidagōgós, παιδ- "child" + ἀγειν "to lead", which originally referred to a slave who escorted children to and from school but later meant "a source of instruction or guidance".

Connotation:

The term in English is typically used with a negative connotation, indicating someone overly concerned with minutiae and whose tone is perceived as condescending. When it was first used by Shakespeare in Love's Labour's Lost (1598), it simply meant "teacher". Shortly afterwards it began to be used negatively. Thomas Nashe wrote in Have with you to Saffron-walden (1596), page 43: "O, tis a precious apothegmaticall [terse] Pedant, who will finde matter inough to dilate a whole daye of the first inuention [invention] of Fy, fa, fum".

Medical Conditions:

Obsessive-compulsive personality disorder is also in part characterized by a form of pedantry that is overly concerned with the correct following of rules, procedures and practices. Sometimes the rules that OCPD sufferers obsessively follow are of their own devising, or are corruptions or re-interpretations of the letter of actual rules.

Pedantry can also be an indication of specific developmental disorders. In particular, persons with Asperger's Syndrome often have behaviour characterized by pedantic speech.

From - Urban "Dictionary":

It's quite another matter when an artist, in a supposedly live performance, lip-syncs to his or her own recorded version of the song.
