Insincerity

"The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns, as it were, instinctively to long words and exhuasted idioms, like a cuttlefish squirting out ink."

George Orwell : English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950
