Taradiddle. This word references someone or something that is filled with pretentious nonsense or something that is a lie. A great example of this is that classic fisherman’s tale of how big the fish he caught was. Usually the fisherman is lying or at least exaggerating about the fish, especially if he (or she) didn’t keep the fish.
I do love a good fish story. So many times the fish stories might not be lies or even exaggerations. For example, I remember the time I went to a celebration in Africa and the candles were so big that they had to use a blow torch to light them!!!
It was craaaaazzzzyyyyyy..
Within every elaborate lie, a kernel of truth.
See what I mean?
