hippocrisy

"Do as I say, not as I do" behavior regarding large aquatic herbivores.
The term "hippocrisy" could also stand for ridiculous "talking outta both sides of your mouth" behavior that simulates how said lumbering "horse from the river" chooses to act --- for example, constantly badgering your kids to keep their clothes clean and pristine at all times, yet enjoying a good roll in the mud yourself.

Retroactive hypocrisy

A special case of a strawman argument in which, after being criticized for being hypocritical, one intentionally mischaracterizes the criticism as being an additional layer of hypocrisy.
Person A) "It's pure hypocrisy that after being so concerned with Hillary's private emails, Republicans are shrugging after we find out Ivanka Trump has been sending official White House business emails from a private account."

Person B: "Oh, what? So you were perfectly fine with Hillary doing it, but you care all of a sudden when Ivanka does it? It's YOU who's a hypocrite."

Person A: "Don't pull that retroactive hypocrisy on me. I didn't say anything about my own approval or disapproval of either Hillary or Ivanka."

American Hypocrisy

Noun

A noun used to describe that special brand of hypocrisy that is oh-so American.

"There's this very specifically American brand of hypocrisy that I think is quite interesting.

The same people that are fanatical about religion, and think it belongs in politics love the constitution, despite that being unconstitutional.

The same people that spout off their second ammendment rights do not see a problem with the government infringing upon it.

The same people who think they are so free accept that they spend most of their lives in offices or factories just to be able to scrape by financially whilst somebody richer than them profits from their work.

The same people who are perfectly fine with trying young black boys as adults don't think anyone that young could possibly be seen as an adult in any other case, especially when voting or even just having valid opinions."

"Freedom for all except the blacks, the queers, the heathens, the sluts, the Arabs, and the disabled."
WHOOOH!!! 'MURICA THE BEST!! PRAISE THE LORD!!!"

"What's wrong with them?"

"Oh, nothing, just their American Hypocrisy."
