"A tall story/tale" = một câu chuyện cao -> nghĩa là câu chuyện khó tin, mang tính tưởng tượng cao.

One expert (chuyên gia) described the situation as “a global environmental nightmare (cơn ác mộng môi trường toàn cầu)”. In Scotland, it was said that 600,000 mattresses (nệm giường) were thrown away every year – surely not? – which, if piled up (chất đống) together, would be 100 times taller than Ben Nevis.

In its own filings (hồ sơ), Lippert has dismissed (bác bỏ) ASA’s allegations (cáo buộc) as a “tall tale” that spins a conspiracy (âm mưu) out of nothing, and portrayed (mô tả) its hiring of Smith as unimportant.
