Telling a fat lady: You don't look fat. I think you're in good shape.

Is that what you call a white lie?

Thanks.

A white lie is a lie that we think will not have any damaging consequences.

Wife ; Why are you so late
Husband - I had a last minute meeting in the office (When in fact he was in the pub with his colleagues)

A fat lie is like a big lie.

He told me when I started working for the company that I would treble my salary after a year. It was a fat lie.I've been her 12 months and I'm earning less than when I started.

See above for white lie.
