baver la canne

French expression from New-Caledonia. Literally "To drool the cane". Properly means "to ejaculate", but mostly known for its figurative: "To lie".
Note that there are not much chances that a french person who's never been in New-Caledonia knows this expression.

-Ouais, hier, j'ai pêché un requin!
-Arrête de baver la canne...

-Yea, yesterday, i caught a shark!
-Stop drooling the cane...
