ketman

Paying lip-service to an idea or ideology while secretly being opposed to it. Originally used of secret dissenters from Islam, it was applied by Czeslaw Milosz in his 1953 book The Captive Mind to those inwardly opposing Communist orthodoxy while appearing to comply with it dictates. See also shuck and jive.
In oppresive societies, many successful people practice ketman.

kelman

The weirdest, most awkward person you'll have the displeasure in meeting. Has little to no social cues with a pervy side that is written all over his face. Doesn't ever listen and will make up things to cover their ass when times get hard. Will be found living in his parent's basement with little to do in life. Don't be a Kelman or meet one.
