THE WINNER

Here are all the entries.

But, what does �To be two-faced� mean?

Oxford Dictionary of English: �Insincere and deceitful�.

1)      �Before the Election, the Government Minister promised to cut taxes, but now that the Election is over, he has increased them.  He is two-faced�.

2)      �He is so two-faced.  He compliments the Boss to her face, but he criticises her behind her back!�

3)      �Don�t believe anything that she tells you!  She is two-faced.  She will say one thing when it is convenient to her, and will say the opposite when it is inconvenient�.

 

There were many excellent entries and they had me laughing out loud!

Who is the WINNER?

Minka

�I think it means he stepped out of one of Picasso �s paintings�.

CONGRATULATIONS!

 

Minka, please, you choose the next �Word of the Day�.
