| 1. | cock and bull | ||
|
A fabricated or highly exaggerated story intended to deceive.
This is a corruption of a "concocted and bully story". Bully is the Danish bullen, or exaggerated. Therefore, it stands to reason that a cock and bull story is a made up, exaggerated story. I don't want to hear another cock and bull story about why you are late.
