basketweaving

Basketweaving is creating a long narrative of lies stringing people along with it. Basketweaving can take the form of simply making up a new term or convincing someone you can do/did something you didn't. Differently from simply just lying or gasligting, basketweaving is usually over the course of months, creating a "basket" of lies.

Person 1: "My boyfriend says he works at a restaurant, but always refuses to ever take me there and is oddly dismissive about anything related to his job."

Person 2: "Sorry, but I think he might be basketweaving."

Advisor: This semester I'm gonna have you take Basketball Theory 101, Geography 100, College Seminar 101 and Underwater Basket Weaving 101 so we can keep you eligible.
Athlete: I don't know if I can handle all that
Advisor: It's okay, we have individual tutors for each of those classes that will do your homework for you.

Extreme Underwater Basket Weaving

n: an illegal underground sport in which players must weave an entire basket underwater on one breath. If more than one player should manage to finish, the one who has created the most intricate or cleanest basket is kept alive while other contestants are shot. Most players drown in their first match. Some variations occur in EUBW, such as mines, sharks, and harpoons.
