hypocrisy

Hypocrisy is when one douchebag calls out another douchebag for being a douchebag, and the second douchebag responds to this by calling the first one a hypocrite.

It is usually the case that the sheer mass of irony inherent to the situation at this point causes a tear in the fabric of space-time, resulting in both douchebags being sucked into a black hole of self-absorbed narcissism. Innocent bystanders are advised to quickly become apathetic to the confrontation, lest they too become sucked into the singularity.
Douchebag A: Hey man, I don't appreciate how you've been walking around this party spouting smarmy self-serving platitudes at all the ladies, directly competing with my similar attempts.

Douchebag B: "Hey bro, you're just making a scene at me so you can seem like a white knight, and distract from your own ridiculous behavior, which of course I would never have anything to do with, as reinforced to everyone else in the room by the intensity of my indignant response."

Innocent Bystander: "OH SHI--"

hypocrisy

(n) - one of the few things liberals and conservatives, Republicans and Democrats, and people in general have in common.
If one were to be truly honest with oneself, one would realize that he/she falls into hypocrisy. For example, almost everyone preaches that we should love everyone, but few practice that.
