Ooh, I love words!
Okay, Folks, pay attention:
Mendacity (n) means deceit; hiding a lie within a truth. Ex. "I'm an award-winning public speaker" might suggest far more prestige than the ribbons earned at my club!!
The adjective form of mendacity is mendacious.
Mendicant (adj) means beggar, supplicant - completely different meaning from deceitful.
