Pants on Fire!!! A test about lies, liars, and those being lied to
In keeping with the general theme of telling falsehoods, I thought I'd submit this interesting little quiz about LYING, courtesy of Merriam-Webster.
"Very few of us enjoy being lied to, but encountering dishonesty is a near-unavoidable part of participating in society. Since this is so, we have created a quiz to help you brush up on words which are concerned with lying, fibs, mendacity, and various other forms of stretching the truth."

PS I guessed on a number of them and ended up in the top 20%-- go figure
