Hypocrisy is the act of pretending to have beliefs, virtues and
feelings that one does not truly possess. The word derives from the
late Latin hypocrisis and Greek hupokrisis both meaning play-acting
or pretence. The word is arguably derived from hypo- meaning small, +
krinein meaning to decide/to dispute. A classic example of a
hypocritical act is to denounce another for carrying out some action
whilst carrying out the same action oneself.

"Unclean Hands:"

A legal doctrine which is a defense to a complaint, which states that
a party who is asking for a judgment cannot have the help of the
court if he/she has done anything unethical in relation to the
subject of the lawsuit. Thus, if a defendant can show the plaintiff
had "unclean hands," the plaintiff's complaint will be dismissed or
the plaintiff will be denied judgment. Unclean hands is a
common "affirmative defense" pleaded by defendants, which must be
proved by the defendant.

John 8:7:

But when they continued asking him, he looked up and said to
them, "He who is without sin among you, let him throw the first stone
at her."

Moral of the story: Don't be throwin' pebbles and gravel at me when
you be layin' up in a glass domicile. Eventually, I will find big
rocks and throw them back at you.
