In between a white lie and black lie, a gray lie is when you lie in order to serve the best interest of all parties involved.
Mary told her best friend a gray lie about not calling the police when she asked her in hopes her best friend wouldn't impulsively escalate acting on her impulsive self-harm behavior that were already taking place before the police arrived.

Get the Connor Gray mug.The view that economic solvency implies environmental sustainability, asserting that dense, solvent urban development is environmentally superior to subsidized car infrastructure and, by extension, Levittown-style development. Many "gray environmentalists" do not care about the environment at all, but rather their preferred policies simply have positive environmental externalities (e.g. a libertarian approach to land use results in more efficient, and therefore less sprawling, development and infrastructure).
Gray Environmentalists argue that per-capita environmental impact is most limited in these dense, walkable, communities, not because there is a deliberate effort, but instead due to factors such as car independence (as opposed to car dependence) and central heating (even if minimal, as in duplexes). Proponents also argue that denser development frees more space for parks and recreational centers, thereby creating a greater potential for green space, whether in the community or immediately outside of it.
Gray Environmentalists differ sharply from the more well-known Green Environmentalists, who are in favor of increased regulation, a "return to nature", and frequently view nature as more innocent, and therefore superior, to human lives.

"Adolf, ever hear Gray Environmentalism? Build up, and not into Poland."
"Ja, but kill enough people and we get lower carbon output!"
"Or, hear me out, maybe don't build the autobahn?"

Get the 《¤》Gyyh《¤》Gray 《¤》 Grey《¤》《¤》gyyh《¤》 Gri《¤》Gru《¤》Groj《¤》Gyyh《¤》 mug.This book is a great cautionary tale for all my friends who want emo boyfriends. With all the murderers, it'll be a miracle if not one person thinks “I can fix him.” You know, if you're into that sort of thing. Did you see how his last relationship ended? Stay safe out there, ladies.
I have to say that there was not a lot of good representation in this book. If I wanted to see white men fuck everything up I'd turn on the news. And how can Basil describe Dorian as his “artist muse” and they didn’t kiss once?! Queerbait much, Oscar Wilde?
All I can say is, if Oscar Wilde claims that Dorian Gray really is hot, we can only assume Dorian had a different haircut than Oscar. If Dorian is as useless as he seems, the least he can do is look good while doing it.
Great book if you are the “queer teenager” demographic, and not the “old man who was made to read it in grade school” demographic. Either way you're picking up on the gay subtext.
