White lie is an unimportant lie (especially one told to be tactful or polite)
Thanks much.
Some explanations about the term's origin Mr Google has just told me:
- It comes from the perception: black is evil, white is good. white lie is so innocent that it will not stain your soul with sin, leaving it unspotted, as it were.
- It is named after Mr. Gerald White, a notoriously friendly and good natured liar in the early-mid 1600s. He was famously unjustly imprisoned and executed by George Villiers, the first duke of Buckingham.
- It was originally a golfing term, for when yr ball landed on a pile of snow (or possibly birdshit).
