9/22    What's the term to describe the act that someone says a lot of things
        but never carry out his/her words?  Sayings like "I'll help up on
        house work from now on so that you can get more sleep", "I'll leave
        work earlier from now on to watch the kids so that you can spend more
        time at work", etc.  "Perversion" doesn't seem to be the right word.
        Thanks.  (This is about family members, not presidential candidates.)
        \_ Flake.
           \_ Seconded
        \_ the fish
        \_ Liar?
        \_ Bullshitter? Blowhard? Perverse is the wrong word here, your
           instinct is correct.
        \_ Women in general. My mother.
        \_ All talk, no action.
        \_ Well-intentioned but unnreliable.
        \_ It depends on if you think they actually mean it and are just
           lazy flakes or if you think they are just saying whatever they
           want you to hear in order to get you off their back, in which
           case they are spineless flakes.
