A charlatan is a clever thief who tricks you out of what they steal. A good example would be those low-lifes that dupe the elderly out of their life savings.

not exactly what I'm looking for, guys, keep up the good work.

 

Let's give an example:

 

A person tries to fit in....

 

and exxagerates to build himself up...

 

you know... credentially and .....

 

been there, done that attitude......

 

so he can have some say so in the conversation, and not seem like a dumba$$, what's funny is most people are buying it.
