“He'd rather climb a tree and tell a lie than stand on the ground and tell the truth.”

Lies even when the truth is easier.

“That dog won't hunt.”

That excuse or story doesn't hold up.

“Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's rainin'.”

Don't insult my intelligence with an obvious lie.

“Crooked as a dog's hind leg.”

Dishonest through and through.

“Crooked as a barrel of fish hooks.”

Bent every which way — can't trust a thing about him.

“He's slicker than a pocketful of pudding.”

Smooth-talking and impossible to pin down.
