English for you! 

Episode  1 - Phrasal verbs

Have you ever been "taken for a ride"? If you've been tricked or lied to before, then the answer is yes. Here are some other expressions about lying.

If someone confidently tells you a big lie and doesn't seem to feel bad about it, then you can say they are "lying through their teeth." Such people might make a "web of lies," telling many lies to make people believe them. And if someone lies all the time, you can say they "lie like a rug" – which is a joke using two meanings of "lie," because a rug can only lie on the floor.

If someone lies to you, tricks you, or wants to stop you from finding something out, you can say they are trying to "pull the wool over your eyes." The expression comes from the early 19th century, and may be talking about the wool wigs that some people wore at the time. So someone could pull your wig down, covering your eyes and stopping you from seeing what was really happening.

But not every lie is a big one. Sometimes people just "bend the truth," which is telling a small lie that is usually not serious and probably won't hurt anyone. Often people "bend the truth" by saying something that's part-true, while leaving out important information.

But if someone "stretches the truth," they are probably saying that something is better than it really is. Some people might stretch the truth to make a story more interesting.

Don't Get 'Taken for a Ride' With These Lying Expressions

बच्चों इस कहानी से हमें ये सीख मिलती है कि किसी व्यक्ति के बाहरी रंग रूप से उसकी बुद्धिमत्ता का अंदाजा नहीं लगाया जा सकता इसलिए हमें सिर्फ इसलिए कि किसी ने खराब कपडे पहने हैं या वो देखने में अच्छा नहीं है; उसके बारे में गलत विचार नहीं बनाने चाहियें।

Välkommen till min svenska podd för dig som är på väg att prata flytande svenska. Idag ska jag prata om hur det var för mig att komma till ett nytt land med kulturkrockarna.
