on with a lesson first lies let's say
that you don't believe someone you know
those times when you make plans with
someone and then the time comes you're
still coming and this is their response
yeah and leave from the house now just
put my shoes on no no this is a lie of
course lie is a noun the verb of light
is also lie so if you don't believe this
person and you want to say I don't
believe you or you're lying you can say
this that's bollocks
or just bollocks this word is very
British literally it means testicles but
in this context it means a lie bollocks
is the British version of the American
word which also means lie and
with this word we can get super creative
and it's really fun just match what they
said with the word bollocks for example
let me show you yeah I'm just leaving
now bollocks are you.why bollocks are
you because you match the auxiliary verb
or a modal verb with bollocks for
example I'll be there in five minutes
bollocks will you see I'm matching the
modal verb will with what she said I
will be there in five minutes so just
match the modal or auxiliary verb with
bollocks in a question form if you do
that you'll have a great day it's
important to note
bollocks is considered a swearword and
therefore can sound quite strong but
when you say you're lying usually you
need to sound strong but what if you're
talking to a child or talking to a
person about a lie and you need to not
swear what can you say easy just replace
that's bollocks for baloney baloney is
the less strong non swear word version
so yeah with a child or with someone you
need to not swear with whose baloney but
be careful it could sound funny because
it's less strong so if you're in an
argument and you're very angry don't
call someone a liar by saying that's
baloney
because it sounds hilarious don't say
baloney say bollocks say be
strong well what do you think of my
dress mmm I really like it other ways
you could say you're lying you are full
of or you're full of it you're full
of it because we know what it is for
example if you have a friend who always
lies you can say don't listen to him is
full of it hmm and by it she's not
talking about buying the dress she's
talking about buying the lie so in this
context by means believe if you say I
don't buy it it means I don't believe it
now this is really not super common to
say I wouldn't recommend saying it's not
that common but you definitely will hear
it in movies and TV shows just remember
it means I don't believe it I don't
believe you let's talk about the
opposite of lying the truth a very
common mistake is the confusion between
the verb form adjective and noun of
truth if it's not it's true the
adjective is true but the noun is the
truth but how do we make a verb in this
well it's not say
the truth it's the other one it's tell
and we need the noun truth so you want
someone to be honest tell the truth when
you're lying it can be difficult to
convince someone that you're telling the
truth or maybe you are telling the truth
it's still difficult to convince someone
who doesn't believe you how can you say
I'm telling the truth let's have a look
I'm not drunk just like stripping who
knows maybe it's the truth maybe he saw
Magic Mike and got inspired
he's got dreams and if he wants to
convince his friend that he's telling
the truth he can say these things I'm
telling you
or I swear pinky swear this is your
pinky finger and if you want to promise
someone that you're telling the truth or
you will do something you promise say a
pinky swear
and don't be a dick don't break that
promise
it's a pinky swear another cool way is I
you not I you not I didn't
even drink because to be
someone means you're lying to them or
you're joking with them I give you my
word now your word is your promise it's
your honor
how reliable or how trustworthy you are
depends on how good your word is of
course but if you're a pretty
trustworthy person you can say I give
you my word I didn't drink did you like
