White Lies. Fiction. The art of lying well. Simulate the truth, i.e., sound reasonable enough not to be instantly dismissed as lies because people have been told lies are bad and pretend not to like them. Exploit the haze between true and false in order to lie with beauty and conviction.
Also: lies the white man tells.
White lies—the kind that slide off as soon as said.
