Såhär står det på Wikipedia om "hypocrisy":

Hypocrisy is the act of pretending that one has beliefs, opinions, virtues, feelings, qualities or standards that they do not actually have; this is usually done in order to mask their actual motives or feelings; falseness.

The term hypocrite is widely misused. Many persons state that hypocrisy is the action of 'not practising what you preach'. It is easy to see the resemblance, and completely understandable why there has been widespread confusion. However, this, like many others, is an incorrect definition. The following instance is a demonstration of a misuse.

Father: You know, it's wrong to swear.Son: You hypocrite!Father: How so?Son: You always swear.Father: That doesn't make me a hypocrite. 

The father is correct, as opposed to the son, who isn't. Had the father stated he doesn't swear, he would have been a hypocrite. The possession of the belief is what labels the situation, not the practice of the belief. Self-contradiction is not necessarily synonymous with hypocrisy.

 Såhär står det om hypokrit (vem använder förresten någonsin det ordet?):

En hypokrit predikar om en särskild tro, religion eller livsstil, utan att själv följa det han förespråkar. "Hycklare" är ett annat ord som beskriver samma beteende.

Ett exempel på vanligt hypokrit-beteende är när en förälder förmanar sina barn att inte röka, med motiveringen att användning av tobak är farligt, för att sedan själva röka.
