Whos who?
Recalling this conversation I had with my study group a few days back...
Mich was asking, "what is a poser?"
Ralph came up with an example.
"If you are poor and pretend and act like you are filthy rich and all that, you are a poser."
Then I asked him.
If someone who "promotes" his status is called a poser, then what do you call someone who "demotes" his status?
"Oh, that one is even worst. That one is called a hypocrite!"
Our conversation then started to steer towards identifying who is who among the people who know.
The funny thing is, we all came to a conclusion that only one person is eligible to be both a poser AND a hypocrite!
Man, we had a good laugh that day just talking about that person.
Riddle of the day: Can you guess who than person is?
According to http://www.dictionary.com,
A poser is a person who habitually pretends to be something he is not. Also known as a wannabe.
A hypocrite is one who puts on a mask and feigns himself to be what he is not.
Same difference no?
Then I started thinking... The nickname "Lecherous Monk" is one which you can say "demotes" my status.
Does that make me a hypocrite?
Hmmm...
