I’m not convinced but, come the obituary, it could be that lying is the only thing that an obitual liar will be remembered for.
He walks around acting like he is this intelligent man when he is nothing but an obitual liar.
Are you some kind of psychopath or obitual liar or something?
He is a obitual liar who puts our country at risk every day.
Trying to restore my character as a Christian man. But it’s been difficult when you’ re a obitual liar.

Not sure why I love this one so much ―like you, Peter, I doubt its eggcornhood― but I do love it. There’s such a fine ality to it!

I love it! Likely purposeful, but possibly some user might think it really is the right analysis/etymology. Many of the best liars are smooth and suave, but yes, some are (one is?) bitchual.

I mentioned this one to my sons this evening, and after they laughed Craig came up with a different take on its meaning. An obitual liar is the one who writes the obituaries, and says things like, “He was a good man, who loved everything and everybody. He will be sorely missed!â€
