   Larboard \Lar"board`\, n. [Lar- is of uncertain origin, possibly
      the same as lower, i. e., humbler in rank, because the

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   liar paradox
  
      A sentence which asserts its own falsity,
      e.g. "This sentence is false" or "I am lying".   These
      paradoxical assertions are meaningless in the sense that there
      is nothing in the world which could serve to either support or
      refute them.   Philosophers, of course, have a great deal more
      to say on the subject.
