On the Young and the restless, I learned a new word!
Prevaricate: To stray from or evade the truth; equivocate
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Prevaricate and another one I found while browsing the dictionary:
Tergiversate: 1.to change repeatedly one's attitude or opinions with respect to a cause, subject, etc.; equivocate. 2.to turn renegade.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Tergiversate I feel smart today. Though I won't be able to remember how to spell it tomorrow!
