'Lie through one’s teeth' có một động từ mới to lie nghĩa là nói dối. Lie through one’s teeth là nói dối một cách trắng trợn, trơ trẽn.

Ví dụ
Mom asked Sally where she got ten dollars. But instead of telling the truth (sự thật), she lie through her teeth. She said she’d found the money, but in fact she stole (ăn cắp) it from a friend. Now she’s being punished.

When I was pregnant (có thai), I felt very unattractive (xấu xí). But my husband used to tell me I was the most beautiful (đẹp) woman in the world. Of course he was lying through his teeth. I knew it wasn’t true at all.
