Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An overt lie is when you deliberately say something that is untrue while knowing that it is not true. This is different from a covert lie, which is when you intentionally conceal the truth or give misleading information without actually stating a falsehood. A real lie and an honest lie are not valid terms in this context.
