the only crime that requires the victim to believe you first
means The act of saying something you know to be false with the intent to deceive.
from From Old English 'lyge' (a falsehood) and the verb 'lēogan' (to deceive), a word with deep Germanic roots — cousins survive in German 'lügen' and Dutch 'liegen.' Note the trap English sets: this 'lying' (the falsehood) shares its modern spelling with the 'lying' of lying down, which comes from an entirely different Old English verb, 'licgan' (to recline). The truth-twister and the rest-taker only became spelling-twins much later.
