What do hidden meanings mean in everyday life?
I’m trying to think of a word to describe the above scenario. The British chancellor has said that the next budget will be for working families. What doesn’t stated is that he is trying to change employment regime so that “working families” may mean working 7am to 8pm and on weekends. I have got feeling that there should be a word to describe a hidden agenda in a true statement but don’t
know what.
In addition to the existing suggestions, that might also be described as lying by omission, or simply a misleading statement.
In some cases, euphemism may convey something different. How I read a news story once about a small company being buy out by a bigger company, and apparently there was a lot of anxiety about possible layoffs, and then an executive of the big company said “Employment might increase, or it might fluctuate” “.” “Fluctuate” apparetly being the antonym of “increase”. If you are still awake when someone says you are unwell that is euphemism.
What does it mean when a politician proposes a bill to give millions of tax dollars to bail out a company that just happens to be owned by a major campaign contributor, and he calls it, The Consumer Protection and Jobs Creation Bill, that goes beyond euphemisms to rather blatantly lying to this reporter. In such cases you might want to use a less-inflammatory word then “lie”, like “misleading statement”, for political purposes. However…
Why are some studies recommending that people write about the phenomenon instead of other people’s, I don’t think it gets better
than hidden agenda.
If you look for a noun, dissemblance might be the correct noun. What is equivalent to
- disguise because of a false appearance. Is it accurate or not?
- Forgery to make a false show of; feign.
To disguise or hide one’s own true nature, motives, or feelings behind a false appearance and belief.
Is the
-
act of prevaricating is the act of quibbling, or shuffling, to evade the truth or the disclosure of truth; a deviation from the truth and fair dealing.
-
A secret abuse in the exercise of a public office.
What is the second definition?
