Hypocrite.

A hypocrite pretends to be something he's not.

I think a better definition is "flake". Here is the definition....

Flake

(n) A useless, shady, deceitful person who is so unreliable and selfish they cause you much anger and frustration. A Flake's only agenda is what they want to do. They have a weak character, often the products of bad parenting/spoiling kids. A Flake will make plans, never attend, and give no reason for their absence, even after they spent hours calling, texting, or emailing you. Flakes try to manipulate everybody, and sometimes are not the idiots they appear to be. A Flake often has little to no real friends due to their erratic behavior. You can never rely on a Flake. When questioned about their behavior, a Flake just gives up on the relationship and moves on to another person. Flakes can't get by in the real world and often act immature beyond their years, causing them to be labeled as "useless" human beings.

irony: When the opposite of what you expect happens, or when you say the opposite of what you mean, usually for humorous effect (as opposed to sarcasm). literal language: When words mean exactly what they say.

sarcasm.

for example:

'Great job, Einstein,' would seem like a great compliment if taken literally, considering his genius is world renown. however, hearing that after making some type of mistake, or shortcoming, then the speaker actually means the opposite and is just utilizing sarcasm.

That would be sarcasm - saying something but meaning the opposite in a humorous or mocking way.


Does "Opposite Day" really exist?

The simple explanation of "Opposite Day" is when children declare they mean the opposite of what they say like, "I love doing chores." However, by declaring January 25th as the official "Opposite Day" it is not, in fact, opposite day because the opposite of opposite day is a normal day. So is it actually opposite day? This is an ancient logical paradox called the Liar’s Paradox which often takes the form of β€œI am a liar” or β€œThis sentence is false.” Because the sentence is self-referential and negative.
