I had to "look up" >> fib<< to see if it had a noun to tag `one who fibs` --- there is and it's "fibber" which then allowed "Fibber McGee and Molly" to surface from my childhood TV viewing .
Along with "fib" is{are} "white lies", half Truths, PARTIAL Truths,, inaccuracies,, and inconsistencies . I am partial to "white lies" bc of Nils Lofgren and his "1+1" album/cd which features "White Lies" as its opening tract . {Apparently Nils's 'main squeeze' is quite fond of telling his and her friends that Nils is in Love with her---also a PARTIAL Truth, which Nils exploits with happy conviction . But I digress.}
Elsewhere I have described Miles Davis as playing in the key of What-the-fuck . In his Music Miles "bends" each note to achieve a singular sound . Know that each note has 'flats' and 'sharps' half-note below and above the prime note . The notes are "bent" in this instance and I liken THAT to the Truth being "bent" as well . White lies and fibs "bend" the Truth to accommodate the context in which they are used . Here it is where "bending the Truth is pure and unadulterated GENIUS --- and now this ---> Bending the Truth is a FUNCTION of Genius !!! Anyone see THAT coming ??? Me neither .
