Definition
A person who tells small lies or fibs, especially about minor matters or in an innocent-seeming way.
Etymology
From 'fib' plus the agent suffix '-er,' creating a person-noun from the 17th-century slang term for a small lie.
Kelly Says
Every family has 'the fibber'—the relative who insists they definitely tried that recipe when they just opened a can, or didn't see the text message. English gave us a specific word for this particular kind of harmless liar because it's such a common social role.
