Liars Lexicon

Here is the list of  Liar’s Lexicon posts.
Each takes one of the phrases or concepts which we’ve all heard and often been needlessly confused by. It has been my contention that none of these concepts is difficult. They are bandied about partly, I think, to encourage us to think we can’t understand and should just sit down and be quiet.
They are not difficult. They are, I contend, jargon whose purpose is to confuse and often to lie.
