"Banbury story/tale" nghĩa là câu chuyện vô nghĩa, lan man dài dòng mà không có kết thúc rõ ràng.
Ví dụ
Is it indeed! God! Never heard such a Banbury story!
A: 'And you think this Banbury tale will make me look more favourably (thuận lợi) on you?'
B: 'I hope it will because I have a proposal (cầu hôn) to make.'
Isabel was not at all convinced (bị thuyết phục). As soon as Mr.Stanton's steps had retreated (rút lui) beyond their hearing, she turned to Sophy, her eyes shining. 'Why, Sophy! What a Banbury tale! He came to see you, I am sure of it.'
"Mr.Tretower," Olympia said, "has a Celtic flair (năng khiếu) for the dramatic. I expect he tells that Banbury tale to every gullible (cả tin) young girl who comes to the spa. Then he rents her one of his ponies to go off trekking for a day. A most profitable business, I think."
