Janus-faced

Read a random definition: extent in aid

A quick definition of Janus-faced:

Term: JANUS-FACED

Definition: Janus-faced means having two different sides that are opposite or contradictory. It's like having two faces that show different emotions or attitudes. For example, someone who makes a Janus-faced plea is being dishonest or insincere because they are showing two different sides of themselves.

A more thorough explanation:

Janus-faced (jay-nəs fayst), adj. Having two contrasting or contradictory aspects; two-faced.

  • A politician who promises to lower taxes but also promises to increase spending is making a Janus-faced proposal.
  • A friend who talks behind your back but acts friendly to your face is being Janus-faced.

The examples illustrate the definition of Janus-faced by showing situations where someone or something has two contrasting or contradictory aspects. In the first example, the politician is promising two things that cannot both be true at the same time. In the second example, the friend is being friendly and unfriendly at the same time, which is contradictory behavior.
