backup lie

1. Something you should come up with when your lame excuse does not take expected effect;

an additional lie intended to make your original lie sound more convincing;

2. A crucial element in the chain of one's lie.

Guy: You're so special, I like you so much!
Girl: That's so sweet. What particulalrly do you like about me?
Guy (to himself): Damn! I should have come up with a backup lie before I told her that!

Living a lie

Jordan lives a lie. I don't think he should be eradicated.

Hym "I don't see a problem with living a lie. The lie I live is that I'm a quiet and humble wage slave but the reality is I'm one of the greatest writers, comedians, thinkers of all time! Internationally famous. There are movies, songs, and television shows about me. Not humble at all. A genius. Actually, I spoke once and I'm pretty sure I saw a mountain move. Hahaha! Ok. That last one was a bit of a fib but the rest is accurate. You do seem right about the frustration thing though. Jordan does seem pretty frustrated about living a lie. He thought he was the profound one but really it was HYM! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
