This is more sinister word for something evil, like fibbing to save face; something like “cowardly” but not as strong as “knowledge”
Imagine
-
a conflict between two people. One person once noticing their point has been refuted, says something like “I was just playing devil’s advocate” or “I was just trolling. This is real, guys. I saw that.” When
-
someone says something insulting, and attempts to pad it by “Haha, I’m just joking. I haven’t checked anything out” I mean, I need to explain these things. And you can always try an insulting comment. Bobby
- make a mistake, and, upon being called out, justifies it by pointing out someone else’s actions—and claiming they were the cause of Bobby’s actions, which lead to the mistake All
these things share something in common, and I want to refer to them in a similar way. As a Buddhist, am I stuck avoiding responsibility or something like that? I wish to say “cowardly”, but that’s much too strong of a phrase.

She makes a comment that he has ‘REALLY come together’ (looks really great after 6 years of sobriety). She uses a sarcastic tone, likely trying to make fun of his odd dress, hoping he will have a sense of humor about his apparent eccentricity. I can’t tell whether you’re getting so acerbic or not. He seems very quiet, and shy. What a traitor doesn’t waffle. The OP describes her as a good willful ‘cowardly’. What “reflective” is said to be this spineless behavior?
