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!"

Lavender lie

A lie or relative truth told for a specific, usually administrative purpose, to avoid unnecessary complications.
Border guard: "Do you live at this address?"
Me: "Yes." (truth: not anymore, but I still know someone who lives there who's agreed to get the mail for me, since I'm in the process of moving from my other temporary location)

Later in the family group chat

Me: I had to use another lavender lie at the border.
Bro: Makes sense since they can't handle complicated answers.
