1 - Readily perceives and condemns faults in others, while failing to perceive and condemn faults of ones own (an example of Double-standard too)
2 - Claims to have higher moral standards or more noble beliefs than actually is the case
3 - Having one thing in mind (beliefs, values, standards, motivations) and saying something else or behaving differently

EXAMPLE 1 -
Priest (while delivering a sermon): “Those who watch blue films will be cursed by God to the darkest corner of Hell, after death.”
Insider: “He is an incorrigible hypocrite! He loves watching Porn on his laptop, late at night. He had also made advances to Nuns on several occasions, and on one occasion molested a Nun.”
EXAMPLE 2 -
Politician: “Many business men are serious tax evaders, they will be brought to book. Sometimes they’re helped by powerful people in the government to hide their illegal activities.”
Citizen: “It is like the pot calling the kettle black. This fellow is a shameless hypocrite! He has money stashed way in Swiss accounts and has used his connections to help his friends and relatives to either evade taxes or even to evade arrests.”

Get the Hypocritemug. Somebody who wants people to think they have nothing to hide because they keep just about everything about their lives hidden from the public eye, sometimes by hiding it in plain sight (a brilliant strategy).
The hypocrite wants people to think she's outgoing and welcoming (despite being introverted and secretive), since that's what usually worked on other people or groups in the past.

Get the Hypocritemug. RB: If you guys are all about individuality, why do you all have the same artificially-black hair, black nails, bobby-pinned clothes, and plaid pants?

Get the Hypocritemug. A hypocrite is someone who is critical of a certain practice when they themselves are engaging in the very same practice.
Anyone who supports illegal immigration in Arizona yet maintains locks on the doors of their homes and businesses to keep people from just walking in and taking anything they may need to make a better life for themselves or their families is a hypocrite.
