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."

Sister: This meeting was to discuss the rough draft of my essay, where we discussed the subsidiary questions I added in my rough draft. We also discussed the relationship between my main title and the real-life situations I chose to use in my essay. We discussed the structure of my essay as well, specifically the Math AOK section and how it relates to the contradiction of the title. This second meeting was particularly helpful in discussing the implications of my essay claims and how to apply the title across various areas of knowledge. There were many sections of the essay that could have been cut down in wordiness and the ways of knowing required further and more in-depth analysis.
