| 1. | maternal lie | ||
|
A small lie that your mother tells you to make you feel better, which generally does not work because you know it is a lie. Usually pertains to physical appearance. Son (with throbbing pimple on nose):
"Mom, I have a horrible zit on my face!" Mother (with a sympathetic look): "Oh, honey, it's not noticeable at all." Son (grumbling): "What a maternal lie!" |
