"Liar, liar, pants on fire, hang them up on telephone wire.

(Said to a lying service writer)" This is a "derisive rhyme" used by customers . "Tradition" teaches the customers to use sayings in certain situations to make a point emphatically. Such sayings can provide a quick and easy response to the taunt of the ********, or a powerful demonstration of the customers stand. The sayings contain a collective wisdom that exerts a certain amount of pressure on service writers. In other cases, sayings offer a form of play with words; Customers use the traditional structure of such sayings to play with the rhythm, rhyme, and meaning of words to draw attention to the lying SOB."
