But do you differentiate between real cycnicism, the kind studied and polished by the bitter experience of life, applied with wit and intelligence, and the pseudo-cynic with their pretentious, world-weary posturing and ennui? I find that anyone who says "Call me a cynic" falls, by definintion, into the second category. If you have to ask someone to call you a cynic... YOU'RE NOT.

Cynic or not cynic, that is the question...
