Telling someone a lie because you think they are to stupid to know the truth. It's usually used when you want to cheat the person out of something and you lie to them to pull off the scam, relying on the gullible nature of people. The name comes from Jonathan Gruber's many comments about how the Obama Administration exploited the stupidity of the American voter to pass Obamacare. Newt Gingrich coined the phrase in Nov. 2014.

Anatidaephobia is defined as a pervasive, irrational fear that one is being watched by a duck. The anatidaephobic individual fears that no matter where they are or what they are doing, a duck watches.

Anatidaephobia is derived from the Greek word "anatidae", meaning ducks, geese or swans and "phobos" meaning fear.
