  Lie
     an intentional violation of the truth. Lies are emphatically
     condemned in Scripture (John 8:44; 1 Tim. 1:9, 10; Rev. 21:27;
     22:15). Mention is made of the lies told by good men, as by
     Abraham (Gen. 12:12, 13; 20:2), Isaac (26:7), and Jacob (27:24);
     also by the Hebrew midwives (Ex. 1:15-19), by Michal (1 Sam.
     19:14), and by David (1 Sam. 20:6). (See ANANIAS.)

  Lie \Lie\ (l[imac]), n. [AS. lyge; akin to D. leugen, OHG. lugi,
     G. l["u]ge, lug, Icel. lygi, Dan. & Sw. l["o]gn, Goth. liugn.
     See Lie to utter a falsehood.]
     1. A falsehood uttered or acted for the purpose of deception;
        an intentional violation of truth; an untruth spoken with
        the intention to deceive.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              The proper notion of a lie is an endeavoring to
              deceive another by signifying that to him as true,
              which we ourselves think not to be so. --S. Clarke.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              It is willful deceit that makes a lie. A man may act
              a lie, as by pointing his finger in a wrong
              direction when a traveler inquires of him his road.
                                                    --Paley.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     2. A fiction; a fable; an untruth. --Dryden.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     3. Anything which misleads or disappoints.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              Wishing this lie of life was o'er.    --Trench.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     To give the lie to.
        (a) To charge with falsehood; as, the man gave him the
            lie.
        (b) To reveal to be false; as, a man's actions may give
            the lie to his words.
  
     White lie, a euphemism for such lies as one finds it
        convenient to tell, and excuses himself for telling.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Syn: Untruth; falsehood; fiction; deception.
  
     Usage: Lie, Untruth. A man may state what is untrue from
            ignorance or misconception; hence, to impute an
            untruth to one is not necessarily the same as charging
            him with a lie. Every lie is an untruth, but not every
            untruth is a lie. Cf. Falsity.

        fallow; to lie open; to lie hid; to lie grieving; to lie

     Note: Through ignorance or carelessness speakers and writers
           often confuse the forms of the two distinct verbs lay

           preterit laid; as, he told me to lay it down, and I
           laid it down. Lie is intransitive, and has for its
           preterit lay; as, he told me to lie down, and I lay
           down. Some persons blunder by using laid for the
           preterit of lie; as, he told me to lie down, and I laid
           down. So persons often say incorrectly, the ship laid
           at anchor; they laid by during the storm; the book was
           laying on the shelf, etc. It is only necessary to
           remember, in all such cases, that laid is the preterit
           of lay, and not of lie.
