Hypocrite: someone who says one thing and does the opposite. By definition, all teenagers think their parents are hypocrites and give them no end of crap about it. Often they are right, but haven't yet learned that being a hypocrite is part of being human, and in any case often isn't the worst quality their parents could have, comparatively speaking.
