Word of the Week

hypocrisy

Meaning: saying one thing but doing the opposite

Example of using it in a sentence “Hypocrisy is claiming you are a vegetarian but eating bacon sandwiches when nobody is around to see you."

This Greek word started out meaning acting a theatrical part but has moved on to meaning pretending to be one something you are not.

Spelling tip: we are breaking the word up like this just as we say it. Remember that ‘y’ says a short ‘i’

                                                               hyp + oc + ris + y

Use the word as many times throughout the week. This can be verbally, in your written work or listen out for other people using it.
