Untruth (3)

Ross

I think it could be either:

lie

fib

'untruth' is the definition.
(fib is a kind of untruth)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for fib that I've seen before include "minor piece of fiction" , "One must be 20 [UNTRUE]" , "Small lie" , "Story" , "A harmless white lie" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal, The Independent, the Evening Standard, The Sun, The Mirror, the King Feature Syndicate, The Star Tribune, the LA Times, the USA Today, The Times, The Telegraph and the Universal.
