glib

But Tory shadow Cabinet Office minister Richard Holden urged the government to cut back on "bureaucracy" and described Labour's approach as one of "glib platitudes and broken promises with British taxpayers picking up the bill".

His glib lies and rationalizations don't confuse most people on this front.

How did they look, how did they sound, did they come off as authentic and real or were they phony and glib?

Arrested for theft on his 17th birthday, he told police “one glib lie after another” and developed “a fool-proof technique: tell near-truths, half-truths, but never the whole truth.”

To say of the settlers — all of them — that “violence had become part of their DNA” is to approach a glib argument about heritable evil.
