Mishonest

The act of integrating "mistaken details" with dishonest intentions. Dishonesty carried out through a "lack of awareness" of the importance of some missing/mistaken details.

Sally's played naiveness and mishonesty became too much to swallow. She couldn't see the distrust it developed in those around her.

Dishonest Don

A person who lies, exaggerates, and fabricates the truth in order to impress others and sustain a self-fulfilling delusion. Especially, someone who continues to lie when everyone knows the person is lying. Origins: 21st Century U.S.A, inspired by President Donald Trump's behaviors.

Quit being a Dishonest Don, we all know your inauguration was not well attended and that Obama didn't tap your "wires" (aka surveillance from microwave oven).

Intellectual dishonesty

Intellectual dishonesty is the advocacy of a position known to be false. An argument which is misused to advance an agenda or to reinforce one's deeply held beliefs in the face of overwhelming evidence contrary.

The terms intellectually dishonest and intellectual dishonesty are often used as rhetorical devices in a debate; the label invariably frames an opponent in a negative light. It is a round about way to say "you're lying".

The statement that all hurricanes are caused by global warming is intellectually dishonest. Stating as fact that lung cancer is unrelated to cigarette smoking is intellectual dishonesty.

Misconstrue

To carelessly misinterpret another person's words, ideas or intentions, often with a dismissive and disparaging mindset. When a person misconstrues, they rely on their gut feeling while paying no attention to the actual content and rationale. Though it can happen anywhere, such quick-to-react idiocy is almost exclusive to Twitter and Reddit.
