You keep writing that in messages, is it a weird meme or something? Did Biden say that?

I don’t live online like you, I spend most of my free time with friends and family. What is the “throat lozenge” joke?

I've got a tender spot when it comes to "lies". To be perfectly accurate - a lie is only a lie if you KNOW what the truth is, and say something else in order to deceive.

There's also other kinds of lies - you know, the kinds I've said here a THOUSAND/MILLION/BILLION times - and that is exaggeration. Trump is guilty of that a lot, but it's not malicious. Saying you created the best job market for African Americans MIGHT possibly be measure objectively - but saying best ever is just exaggeration. Also saying Joe and Kamala are the worst ever is hyperbole - and also subjective.

There's untruths - saying things like, we lost by five points when you lost by six - that just means your data is wrong. You probably didn't intend to lie.

Biden said TONS of things last night not even approaching the truth - but I suspect he honestly believes them to be true. Which to me is MUCH worse than lying because it means his brain isn't even connected to reality. Believing the border is BETTER than Trump's. Outright falsehoods about unemployment when he took office.

And he mentioned several things 100% disproved because even Trump's detractors in the press admit - yep - we were wrong about that.

Very Fine People (even SNOPES says, nope, we were wrong).
Bleach. Suckers and Losers. This is where I fault him. I'm pretty sure his mind isn't so far gone he hasn't been told, Joe, that's not true.

Thank you, Sam. I'm always unhappy when people automatically go to the "liar" word. There is a difference between an untruth and a lie.

Not in my house growing up.

Telling something untrue - lie
Leaving something out in the telling - lie
Stretching the telling, usually the particulars - lie
Forgetting details - lie
"Forgetting" to tell the parental figure about an event - lie.
Telling about an event that didn't match up with an adult's relation of the events - lie
Telling the parental figures anything that did not match up with what they wanted to hear - lie.

And if you think anyone got off with a "no, no, little BOP," you've got another think coming. My father believed in exorcism by beating the devil out of his children; especially his boy child.

I would, depending on what she would do with "capable". I agree with my wife that Hillary Clinton is capable, but I want no part (for myself or the nation) of what she'd likely do with capable.

I've said - a lie is the INTENT to deceive. A wrong answer on a test isn't a lie. It's just wrong.
Look it up. Any dictionary should define it thus - INTENT to deceive, either by admission or omission.


If you leave something OUT because it will get you in trouble - you're deceiving. It's a lie.
If you forgot because you're scatterbrained - not lying.

If you mention something innocuous - like, the event downtown is at 1pm and you said that BECAUSE YOU WANT THE HEARER TO MISS OUT - then you're lying.
But if you thought it was 1pm and found out you were wrong - then you're wrong. Not lying.

If you thought you took out the trash and say you did - mmmm - gray area. I always check when I am not sure.

When you are SO CERTAIN it's a quote from Shakespeare - and it's the Bible - and Shakespeare NEVER said it - you're just wrong. You're LYING when you KNOW it's false, but say it anyway.

So if you’re in court and the lawyer only lets you get part of the answer out are either one of you guilty of a lie of omission? This is a real question from watching lots of Law and Order where they stop the witness from giving a complete answer.

She keeps writing “throat lozenge”, it’s a weird term. Most folks say cough drop, but when chatting with the terminally online I have to ask when I see weird words.

So, what does “throat lozenge” really mean?
