puffing

Read a random definition: writ of proclamation

A quick definition of puffing:

Puffing is when someone exaggerates how good something is in order to sell it. This is different from lying because puffing statements are just opinions and not facts. Puffing statements usually can't be used to sue someone for selling a bad product, but if the statement goes too far, it could be used as evidence in a lawsuit.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Puffing is when someone exaggerates or makes an overstated claim about a product or service to try to sell it. This is different from fraud, which is when someone lies about a fact to make a sale. Puffing statements are opinions and not facts, so they cannot be relied upon. However, if a puffing statement goes too far and becomes a false statement of fact, it could lead to legal action.

  • "This car is the best on the market!"
  • "This is the most delicious pizza you'll ever taste!"
  • "This product will change your life!"

These statements are examples of puffing because they are opinions and cannot be proven. They are meant to persuade the buyer to make a purchase, but they cannot be relied upon as factual information.
