Lies.

Is it really a lie when all parties know of its deception?
What if it is something outrageous? What if I were to say that I was once a black woman born in the year 2009?

A 'lie', according to the dictionary, is 1) a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive, and 2) an inaccurate statement.

As you can see, my statement above fails the first definition, while passing the second. I am in fact not a black woman, nor was I born in the future. What of my intent?

The second definition seem to cover those times when you unintentionally give bad information due to forgetfulness and what not.

I don't usually lie. If I were to lie, I'd usually give hints of it within the lie. If I layered clues about the truth within the lie, what would be my intent? Would it be a lie?

The answer is yes.
