Thank you, Hermit. :)
Does 'tall tale' in this case mean 'exageración' (even 'mentira')?
Then you don't tall tale me ok.
That I guess is the same that says you don't lie me.:thinking:

@Crotalito, 'tall tale' (mentira, exageración) is a noun. You can't use it as a verb.
The verb is 'tell tall tales'. Don't tell me tall tales (don't lie to me).

To tell tales significa inventar historias
Pero la palabra telltale (una palabra) en from de adjectivo tiene otro significado. Significa evidencia que dice la historia.
Ejemplo: When John came home from work late, his wife saw a telltale
lipstick mark on his collar.
Thank you, poli. I didn't know this word. :)
