      Yup, “White lie” is one example.

      Suppose your friend rolls up with a fresh haircut that looks like they lost a bet, but u don’t wanna crush their soul cuz let’s face it, the damage is already done and there’s no CTRL+Z for bad barber decisions. In this case, it’s better to hit em with some top-tier misinformation like, ‘Bro, you’re looking sharp! That cut’s got main character energy!’ rather than admitting they look like a potato.
