white lie 

White lie is information you have said that only includes things you want to say and excludes things that you don't want to say so technically while you haven't said any lies you haven't told the whole truth.

Mom: Did you brush your teeth?
Kid: Yes (but that was yesterday; while "yes" is true it is white lie because information lacks that it was yesterday)

white lie 

1) A lie told with the intent of sparing someone’s feelings.
2) The reason why, in reality, the female gender is less honest.

"I only view you as a friend." is a common white lie. It usually means 'I don’t like you and don't want anything to do with you'.

"I love you too" can also be a white lie. This is one of the few white lies more commonly told by men.
