5 врёт как сивый мерин
прост., неодобр.cf. he piles it on < too> thick; he lies like a gas-meter (a trooper); he is lying in his teeth- Хоть ты и старик, а брешешь, как сивый мерин! - Товарищ Давыдов, подтвердите! (М. Шолохов, Поднятая целина) — 'You may be an old man, but you lie like a trooper! Tell him yourself, Comrade Davidov.'
Наверное, я долго молчал, потому что Рындин, решив, что я обиделся, положил мне руку на плечо и сказал, что насчёт вранья он пошутил, хотя с кем не бывает - и разведчик иной раз наврёт как сивый мерин, и у писателей не без этого. (К. Симонов, Иноземцев и Рындин) — I must have been silent for a long time because Ryndin, probably thinking I had taken offence, put his hand on my shoulder and said he had been joking about making things up, although that could happen with anyone - scouts too often piled it on thick enough, and a writer probably couldn't help it sometimes.
- А ведь старшина - гадина, - вполголоса сказала фельдшерица, не без вызова обращаясь к Воротюку. - Вы не видите, товарищ майор, что он врёт? Врёт как сивый мерин! (Ю. Бондарев, Выбор) — 'That sergeant is a viper,' the doctor's assistant said challengingly to Vorotyuk in a low voice. 'Can't you see, Comrade Major, that he is lying? Lying in his teeth!'
