Follow-up on the pointers.

1. Slander - Communication of false atatements injurious to a person's reputation.

2. Lying - A false statement deliberately presented as being true.

3. Criticism - Statements made about another's actions, ways and deeds in an effort to hurt their reputation.

4. Talebearing - The practice of spreading gossip and rumours about others.

5. Insinuating - The practice of insinuating or hinting something maybe wrong in the life of another. [I'm assuming wrong = morally wrong and that affects reputation.]

6. Flattery - is saying something to a person's face that we would never behind their backs. [I suppose its like saying the dress is pretty when we don't think it is pretty. AKA Lying.]

7. Exaggeration - Stretching numbers/statistics to make things look better. [Reminds me of projects, can be at school or work.]

8. Silence - When we hear an untruth told and we remain silent, we are guilty of the "slander of silence".
