What is meant by the term Lip Service?
The term lip service refers to the act of gossiping.
The older meaning of "lip service" or to "pay lip service" means to say or pretend to follow actions that a person or persons wishes, but the speaker does not mean.
For example a person may pay lip service to an organization (government/church/book club/etc) but not actually follow what that organization stands for or requires of people as part of that organization.
