BLUFFING

Bluff: –verb (used with object) 
       To mislead by a display of strength, self-confidence, or the like
       eg: He's bluffing, shoot him in the face.

Bluffing is a frequent action undertaken by myself. It is a great way to save face and to cause other people to believe that you are a well rounded, confident person. 

For example:


Unfortunately, though, bluffs usually have a limited time-frame before they are discovered to be a  mere facade. The consequences of these bluffs range from mild to extremely severe.

For example: 


Bluffing is often the result of poor hearing or poor memory. When someone prone to bluffing misses part of a conversation due to poor hearing -



they often pretend to know what people are talking about in order to appear as though they were listening and respond with non-specific, generic answers to questions directed at them.



Bluffing is a risky business, made necessary by the need to appear confident and well rounded around peers. Just remember, next time you lie about your scholastic performance or the current entropic state of your room, your actions could result the collapse of an entire solar system, so be smart about it. Lousy bluffing is a serious issue.
