I think we need better/more descriptive words for lying and deception.

When I tell my child to stay still for the injection because it wont be very sore and they'll hardly feel it, its not out of disrespect or malice. It is a fucking straight-up lie though I remember getting them when I was a kid.

Edit : for the most part I agree with you, but i think better language could help. Lying to sell a timeshare and lying to get a kid to take their medicine are basically the same thing even though theyre very different.
