Pronunciation: FUH-LAY-SEE-OH-VIS-UDGE-ISM

Sentence: Crusty yet benign, the elderly Dr Beddows explained it to me thus: We ALL exhibit, to one degree or another the self-delusional trait known as FALLACIOVISAGISM. To deny our quest for physical beauty and our desire to reclaim our youth would be to deny our very humanity.Ever since the advent of albumen-plate photography,vanity has encouraged mankind to re-touch ourselves in order to have our appearances correspond more closely with our own self-image. However, if left unchecked, this innate tendency can have undesirable, often tragic effects. Statisticians have attempted to link FALLACIOVISAGISM to the rising rate of "virtual" homicides brought on by the casual uploading of doctored portraits prevalent in the cyberdating arena. While the jury is still out on these claims, we should all be aware of the siren which lurks behind the laptop- FALLACIOVISAGISM ! Beware of "headshots"!

Etymology: FALLACIOus+VISAGE+ISM...fallacious:misleading or deceptive...visage:the face or facial expression...ism:condition resuling from an excess of something specified.
