A simple phrase made famous by Rasheed Wallace and coach Flip Saunders that presents evidence that a foul call was indeed unwarranted when the basketball doesn't go in the hoop (usually when the foul beneficiary is at the free throw line).
'Ball don't lie' is more than phrase a player can call out to make a case that a call was made unnecessarily, it is also a mind-set and philosophy. Although Rasheed Wallace may come off to the public as an inarticulate NBA thug, some, like myself, believe that he is a deeper individual, both in intelligence and in a spiritual sense. 'Ball don't lie' is evidence of this hidden and sheltered brilliance exposing itself to the masses. The basketball philosophy Rasheed gave the world, that a basketball is a fair and unbiased being, is ingenious. I have a feeling that some NBA players may have adopted this set of thinking and think the exact phrase of "ball don't line" when NBA referee bullshit is evident. I believe Rasheed's philosophy extends beyond the shooting immediately after the bull call, maybe even influencing the outcome of the game (although the circumstances in which the call occurred would have to be significant). Radical, yes, but if we as a society have accepted crap like the 'Cleveland curse' can't we believe a philosophy like this.
Thank you 'sheed.

A game in which you continuously lie. It was started with a fake livejournal post. The fun of the game is mentioning Lie-Fest 2006 somewhere in your fabricated story and seeing if the person catches on.

When you stay in bed for so long that the time in bed exceeds the 'normal' sleep duration by approximately 9 hours and 18 minutes ( the duration of all three lord of the rings films without extended the editions).
It is also worth noting that an 'extended Lord of the Rings lie-in' exceeds 11 hours 20 minutes of 'normal' sleep time due to that being as long as the extended edition of the trilogy.

(Noun) A phrase for the disappointment that immediately crosses your mind upon realizing that Edmund Pevensie greatly exaggerated the taste of the candy known as, Turkish Delight.
When you finally taste the candy that made Edmund Pevensie betray his siblings, only to realize that it’s not nearly as delightful or delectable as portrayed. It is indeed a Turkish De-Lie, the LaCroix of confectionary creations.
