I tend to say "I don't know" around these malevolent personality types more often. If people are looking for ammunition to use against you, the less words you use the better. These types of people will find plenty of things to mock you and challenge you in a long truthful explanation if they really want to. When around these people, I keep my responses to a minimum, and try to turn their questions back on them and keep them talking instead of me.
