In lieu of recent events, I can provide another word for you all to get your mouth around—
Fnar fnar—
There is apparently a word that identifies someone whose sole purpose is to spin yarns and talk tales. The actual name for such a person is Odin......
No wait:
It is a sophist.A sophist is someone who blatantly disregards the truth in favour of looking smart.
There is an additional to this:
Sophist-iot {so-fist-iot}
- Noun
- From the English "Sophist" and the English "Idiot"This is a person who relies upon the realistic misconception of "Argumentum ad Logicam" to not only suggest a statement is false, but to passively-aggressively defame the individual presenting said disagreement. This term is frequently associated with college-aged individuals. These individuals troll online communities in the hopes of engaging members in self-affirming argumentation. In individuals with narcissistic personalities (see my chapter detailing Personality Disorders), this minimal exposure to the grandiloquent field emboldens their, incorrect, belief in their own intellectual superiority and self-worth.
Basically in layman's terms; a sophist is someone who twists words.
