Baroning is the act of casually lying by inventing stories or modifying existing ones.
Baroning probably has its origins in Latin America and became a worldwide phenomenon in late 2018.
The word is derived from the famous German Baron Münchhausen (1720-1797), a guy that casually lied his way around. His most famous thief pistols (for
definition see urban
dictionary) were:
- riding on a canon
ball over the enemy lines, scouting their positions, and then casually stepping over onto an oncoming cannon ball in the opposite direction to return to his groups
Spanish: baronear
German: baroning
English: "He really baroned his way out of this story when his wife asked him about his whereabouts last night."
"She said she can't make it tonight, because there's a problem with the door lock" - "sounds
like classic baroning to me"
Spanish: Esta chica colombiana está baroneando muchísimo últimamente, es
una verdadera pistolera de ladrón
