Cheating

Cheating is the getting of a reward for ability or finding an easy way out of an unpleasant situation by dishonest means. It is generally used for the breaking of rules to gain unfair advantage in a competitive situation. This broad definition will necessarily include acts of bribery, cronyism, sleaze, nepotism and any situation where individuals are given preference using inappropriate criteria. The rules infringed may be explicit, or they may be from an unwritten code of conduct based on morality, ethics or custom, making the identification of cheating conduct a potentially subjective process. Cheating can refer specifically to marital infidelity. Someone who is known for cheating is referred to as a cheat in British English, and a cheater in American English. A person described as a "cheat" doesn't necessarily cheat all the time, but rather, relies on unfair tactics to the point of acquiring a reputation for it.

  • Cheating (law)

    At law, cheating is a specific criminal offence relating to property.

    Historically, to cheat was to commit a misdemeanour at common law. However, in most jurisdictions, the offence has now been codified into statute.

    In most cases the codified statutory form of cheating and the original common law offence are very similar, however there can be differences. For example, under English law it was held in R. v. Sinclair that "[t]o cheat and defraud is to act with deliberate dishonesty to the prejudice of another person's proprietary right." However, at common law a great deal of authority suggested that there had to be contrivance, such that the public were likely to be deceived and that "common prudence and caution are not sufficient security against a person being defrauded thereby".

    Examples of cheating upheld by the courts have included fraudulently pretending to have power to discharge a soldier, using false weights or measures, and playing with false dice.

    Definition

    In relation to the common law offence, no judicial definition of the offence was ever laid down, but the description of the offence set down in Stephen's Criminal Digest is regarded as fairly comprehensive, and is cited as an authoritative definition by Stroud's Judicial Dictionary.

    Cheating

    by: Joey Moe

    Saturday, the show was done
    i left the party, rushed out of the door 'cause i couldn't wait to go see her face.
    And then i saw you standing there,
    in the hall way,
    watching you with your room-man
    now tell me how i forget that day .
    When i gave you everything you wanted,
    gave you everything you need
    gave you all my love and baby thought you were the one for me.
    why, oh why. oh my god, oh my.
    (CHORUS)
    I caught you cheating,
    My soul is screaming
    i'll never heal again
    but im willing to forgive you.
    because im feeling,
    that im still believing
    cause i ain't breathing
    without you by my side
    i'll give you one more try TONIGHT. (oohh, ohhh)
    It felt like my body hit the ground- and my whole world came trembling down
    oh baby baby baby
    how could you do this to me.?
    When i gave you everything you wanted,
    gave you everything you need
    gave you all my love and baby thought you were the one for me.
    why, oh why. oh my god, oh my, i caught you cheating.
    I caught you cheating,
    My soul is screaming
    i'll never heal again
    but im willing to forgive you.
    because im feeling,
    that im still believing
    cause i ain't breathing
    without you by my side
    i'll give you one more try TONIGHT. (oohh, ohhh)
    (One more try tonight.
    We cant throw this love away.
    Give it One more try)
    I caught you cheating,
    My soul is screaming
    i'll never heal again
    but im willing to forgive you.
    because im feeling,
    that im still believing
    cause i ain't breathing
    without you by my side
    i'll give you one more try TONIGHT.
