Yeah, IMO there is.
In my example some guy is whispering meaningless northing's, a glorified pick up line, this Mayor ginned his resume to get elected.
And back in that early to mid eighties I can't even recall the guys I overheard (by sitting next to) softly say to some woman they were in the 101st, a SEAL or in the SF.
Sorry. A liar is still a liar. A slime still a slime.
