Reading a website, I came across the phrase 'lip service'. I ask my two totally awesomely amazing co-workers what it means. They discuss the fact that it means to talk something up; to speak well of something, but also that it also indicates falling short in regards to taking action.
"Hipsters pay plenty of lip service to safety [actually they don't], but they still don't have brakes on their bicycles."
After a few minutes of conversation, I ask the real question:
"So, it's not something dirty, then?"
No. No it's not.
