Maram

A lie that is unnecessary, won't cause harm. It is delivered in an off-handed, nonchalant manner sometimes even without any intention to lie.

A 'maram' is planted mostly when one is describing a place, a scene from the past. Often, it is done to brag or exaggerate.

1. Of course, he is known to plant a maram or two now and then, but you can trust him. It's just that he can't help it.

2. Alex: Ron said he could get us into the club. Too bad his friend wasn't at the gate to help.

Ty: He knows no one there, he was just planting a maram as usual, for no reason.
