Message Subject Do you get offended when someone calls you a liar?

Incorrect.

When someone accuses another of being a liar they are referring to one instance, they are not referring to if they've lied within their life-time or not.

Unless of course you're referring to a compulsive liar.

Please learn the context in which words are used before trying to sound clever.

You are the one who is "incorrect" hon...

The word "Liar" simply means "a person who lies". It makes NO REFERENCE to a singular event as you erroneously contend.
If you do want to specifically reference a singular event, then you would say, "you are lying"... Not "You are a liar".

Now saying "You are lying" may (or may not be true) in a case by case basis. But calling someone a "Liar" is ALWAYS true, under ANY circumstances, which was my entire point.

Which you seem to have missed.

If I got into a fight once or twice in my entire life when I otherwise never lay a finger on anybody does that make me a fighter?
