From an old David Letterman interview with her long, long ago, I learned a cool little life hack:

She moved to the big city and was getting into the entertainment industry, going around with her CV/résumé, trying to get jobs.

The most impressive things on her CV had an * next to them.

At the bottom of the page, it said, “* = l.i.e.”

Only once did someone interviewering her ask her what that means.

She said, “Oh those are lies.”

I like that. Shows it doesn't really matter, and if you're admitting up-front that it's a lie, then it's the interviewer's fault for ignoring it.
