            which we ourselves think not to be so. --s. clarke.
      1913 webster

            it is willful deceit that makes a lie. a man may act
            a lie, as by pointing his finger in a wrong

   white lie, a euphemism for such lies as one finds it
      convenient to tell, and excuses himself for telling.
      1913 webster

   syn: untruth; falsehood; fiction; deception.

   usage: lie, untruth. a man may state what is untrue from
          ignorance or misconception; hence, to impute an
          untruth to one is not necessarily the same as charging
          him with a lie. every lie is an untruth, but not every
          untruth is a lie. cf. falsity.

   note: through ignorance or carelessness speakers and writers
         often confuse the forms of the two distinct verbs lay
         and lie. lay is a transitive verb, and has for its
         preterit laid; as, he told me to lay it down, and i
         laid it down. lie is intransitive, and has for its
         preterit lay; as, he told me to lie down, and i lay
         down. some persons blunder by using laid for the
         preterit of lie; as, he told me to lie down, and i laid
         down. so persons often say incorrectly, the ship laid
         at anchor; they laid by during the storm; the book was
         laying on the shelf, etc. it is only necessary to
         remember, in all such cases, that laid is the preterit
         of lay, and not of lie.
