Lying in plain sight
Multi tool use
Is there a word or phrase, that accurately describes this: When someone tells you about something, or talks about something off the cuff and describes it as repulsive, or derogatory as a way of ensuring that you don't think they have anything to do with the said topic. Say, someone that hasn't come out, and constantly describes homosexuality as disgusting, or someone who watches tv soaps but constantly moans about how much they despise tv soaps and think people that watch them is hopeless, or your partner describes something they find intolerable yet are themselves avid instigators of such acts? I guess what I'm asking is what is the word of openly admitting guilt to mask involvement?
