Lie, fib, falsehood. Derived from the verb брехать, which originally meant “to bark” in Old East Slavic before shifting colloquially to “to talk nonsense” and ultimately “to lie”. Informal and slightly rude term used to call out deceit or fabrications.
На телефоне диспетчер, как всегда брехня — «Да, я Кира, жду и тарам парам…». Наводка норма, и вот уже у двери. Открывает дверь маленькая страшилка, ну ничего свалить всегда можно.
A dispatcher is on the line, lying as always — “Yes, this is Kira, I’m waiting and so on…”. Guidance is fine and I’m already standing in front of the door. A small gnome opens the door, well I can still go away at any point.
