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).

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. :)
