Confibulise 

/kənˈfibjʊ'lʌɪz/

When both parties of a conversation are lying to one another - and everyone involved in the conversation knows it - yet they politely continue with the conversation all the same.

When somebody pays you a compliment pretending to be sincere but you know they are lying.
Employee 1 to employee 2: "I hope that you get the promotion, good luck!"
Employee 2 to employee 1: "No, I hope that YOU get the promotion. You deserve it."

The employees would confibulise. They acted as though they wanted their opposition to do well but everyone knew that really they hoped they would fail.
