This taste… is the taste of an incomplete entry!
About
“This is the taste of a liar!” is a memorable quote from the Japanese manga JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure uttered by the deuteragonist Bruno Buccellati after finding out the protagonist Giorno Giovanna’s lie and licking the sweat off his face.
Origin
The quote originally appeared in the scene from the Chapter 443 of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Vento Aureo, the fifth part of the manga, originally released in 1996[1].
In the scene, Bruno Buccellati is questioning Giorno Giovanna if he knows what happened to the Leaky-Eye Luca, who was in critical condition at that time because of a previous encounter with Giorno. Despite denying that he met Luca, and apparently losing Bruno, Giorno realizes he was holding Luca’s right eye the entire time and starts sweating nervously. Bruno then appears behind Giorno, licks the sweat off his cheek, and proclaims that the sweat tastes like that of a liar[2].
Spread
On November 18, 2007, a Penny Arcade forum user named Wren uploaded a parody image (pictured below, left) featuring Team Fortress 2 characters, Spy and Engineer[4]. On March 13th, 2008, a user on JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Community forums, named Tobunshi posted an edit of the scene (pictured below, right) where Bruno is licking the face of a former Unites States president George W. Bush[3].
