This happen probabily because a lie can be close to a gossip or maybe because it confirms some common opinions about something.

Two weeks ago I went to the beach with a friend of mine. He said to me “Do you fancy a cheeky tour by boat?”. I was so chuffed about this idea and I said “Yes, of course!”
