Yes, does that make it perjury? No.
Didn't the House impeach BJ Bill for perjury?
No.
Bill Clinton, the 42nd President of the United States, was impeached by the House of Representatives on two charges, one of perjury and one of obstruction of justice, on December 19, 1998.

Sorry you are correct, he was then acquitted at trial.

please use all the legalese you can muster to prove that saying something OTHER than the truth in answers related to questions asked under oath is not perjury.
Perjury has the additional element that the lie must be material to the subject of the proceeding for which the affiant was testifying.
Perjury, also known as forswearing, is the willful act of swearing a false oath or of falsifying an affirmation to tell the truth, whether spoken or in writing, concerning matters material to an official proceeding. That is, the witness falsely promises to tell the truth about matters which affect the outcome of the proceeding. For example, it is not considered perjury to lie about one's age unless age is a factor in determining the legal result, such as eligibility for old age retirement benefits. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perjury

perjury itself is "legalese". If you don't want to use it in its correct form, try a different, non-legalese word.
