White Lie By EvilJune 11, 2014August 14, 2020Culture and Gestures White Lie = a harmless lie, especially one told to avoid hurting someone’s feelings. Ex: My wife asked me if the dress made her look fat. So, I told a “white lie” and said no. Ex: When people ask me “How are you?” I usually say a “white lie” like, “I’m Ok.” even if I’m sad or angry.
