There is widespread agreement, a generalized perception, on the definition of lying. In its shortest formulation: to say what is not with the intention to deceive. It is not only a matter of stating a falsehood, but also of intending to deceive. Indeed, there are several ways of saying what is not —fiction, irony, error, etc.— but not in all of them there is an intention to deceive. Instead, we can imagine many ways to deceive —from ulterior motives to marketing gimmicks, from secrecy to hypocrisy to intentional misrepresentations— but in all of them we can find a familiarity with lying.
