This word DEFINATELY also applies to my EX DH. http://www.yourdictionary.com/images/x.gifPronunciation: [men-'dey-shês ] Definition 1: A Latinate form for "lying" or "untruthful." Usage 1: It would be impolite or downright rude to call someone a "lying crook," but the Latinate equivalent "mendacious offender" could soften the effect. While "mendacious" is an adjective, it has nominal counterpart mendacity "untruthfulness." Suggested usage: Both "mendacious" and "mendacity" have ready Anglo-Saxon counterparts, "untruthful" and "untruthfulness." If you want to impress the person you are calling a fraud, you might say, "You are so charming in your mendacity that no one really minds," or "You are so charming that no one really minds your mendacious fairy-tales." Etymology: Latin mendax "lie" from Proto-Indo-European *mend- "physical defect, fault." Interestingly, the word mendicant "beggar" from Latin "mendicus" also comes from *mend-, where the original sense was "physical defect." (For more on Proto-Indo-European, read "Words: Where do they Come from?" in yourDictionary's library.)
