Don't stand for fib (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lie

I believe this is a double definition.

'don't stand' is the first definition.

'for fib' is the second definition.
(a fib is a lie)

(Other definitions for lie that I've seen before include "Tell porkies" , "Recline - untruth" , "A white one is considered harmless" , "Be prostrate" , "Prevarication" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
