Not just one, Mr. Mayor. It's like how Eskimos have 50 words for snow, but in French every single word has the connotation of being deceitful, untrustworthy and/or treacherous. Word choice is more a matter of lying for the simple pleasure of it or to try and sabotage the recipient in a serious way. It's rarely a matter of personal gain, which would be understandable at least. Just ask anyone who's been to France.
