General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters | | English term or phrase: Lip service | | Lip service is a disingenuous or surface-level attempt to gain public favor by appearing to take a popular stance, yet making little effort to actually adopt or implement that position in private. A company spokesman may promise to investigate allegations of fraud or embezzlement during a press conference, for example, but no such investigation ever takes place. The spokesperson was simply paying lip service to the idea of fair business practices. |
