My fellow Ignorantics...this is a good one for a few reasons. First, it is so totally wrong that it has become viral on YouTube. Second, because it is so totally wrong, it has forced millions of Ignorantics and educated people to look up the word "mendacity" and add it to their vocabulary! Isn't that nice? Finally, it is great because it proves that even the educated among us can be Ignorantics.
Lesson: Mendacity means LIE. So, when Rep. King was fired up about his colleagues' record in Congress, he committed a bit of a Freudian slip and said that his colleagues' mendacity was being challenged instead of his veracity (TRUTH). Isn't this rich?
How many of you get the opportunity to use "mendacity" in a sentence? Ignorantic, Rep. King, has given us ALL a vocabulary gift that we can use, but don't you dare let me see the following abuse: "Gurl, that man had the mandacity to tell me that he didn't like my dress!"
Ignorantics, let's make this a true "teachable" moment and stay in our lane. The double line represents new vocabulary that you don't use without consulting a Dictionary first. Mendacity is one of those words on the other side of the double line. In other words, no passing! Don't get happy with a new word you have never used before. Start with the basics and use Google. YourDictionary.com has a great piece called "Used in a Sentence". Make it your first New Year's bookmark. I don't want to see anyone commit a DWIs (Driving While Ignorant)!
Ignorantics is speech, written and oral, derived from ignorance and the act of expression is the "antics". This blog is dedicated to the Ignorantics who are casual and chronic offenders. In this blog, I will share stories and commentary about individuals who find themselves in either of these categories. I would also like to inform my readers that all of the stories that I share on this Blog are “REAL” stories but the names of the Ignorantics have been changed to protect the ignorant! © 2010-19.
