The adjective for an individual who attributes all actions to selfish motives. Becoming cynical comes from someone just not giving a damn about the rest of the human race and is recommended for all Americans.

Cynic: "That's great, hope he actually did it."
Person: "WTF? You cynical jerk! You should be ashamed for saying things like that!"
Cynic: "At least, I can stand on my own two feet..."

a person who has grown enough to see that some things in life aren't wonderful and sometimes people are selfish or disappointing, but has failed to find the humor and irony in this or realistically observe the many good things that also happen in life. oftentimes cynics seem to enjoy attempting to destroy the faith and joy found by other people--even when that faith serves no purpose than to make its owner balanced and happy as a human being.
Amanda said she believes she can accomplish great things in her life if she believes in herself, and Rob being a cynic felt it was his duty to crush this belief which hurt no one and only helped Amanda, thereby making Amanda sad. Rob needs to get a life.

A name assholes give themselves to add a cover of philosophy to their bullshit.
I am not an ordinary asshole, I am a cynic and therefore a philosopher.

Someone smart enough to realize that life isn't perfect but too stupid to realize that it's still pretty fucking sweet.
Cynic:
That douche that no one invites to parties because he thinks he has an elevated sense of awareness and a mysterious, dark sexiness that all women must find desirable.

The most misused word on the internet.
To be cynical is to tend to view people as by their own self-interest.
Not to be confused with pessimism, which is a tendency to believe that a bad outcome is more likely than a good one.
Also, not to be confused with skepticism, which is when you would doubt the truth of something and demand evidence.
Person 1: I'm cynical about the future.
Person 2: You mean pessimistic, right?
Person 1: Pessimistic! Yes, sorry, that's what I meant.
