Holden's favorite criticism of people is that they are "phony"—his dead brother, Allie, and his sister, Phoebe, are the only ones he does not apply this insult to. Two "phony" actions Holden witnesses are Pencey Preparatory School's declaration that they "have been molding boys into splendid and clear-thinking young men" and his brother D.B.'s decision to go to Hollywood to pursue screenwriting instead of a more "respectable" writing career. Holden himself loves to fabricate stories and thus is also "phony"—he says he "the most terrific liar you ever saw in your life."
