Talking tall

Telling tall tales with the intent of obfuscation, prevarication, or evasion of inconvenient facts, regardless of whether actual malice is involved. A press secretary, either in private business or in public affairs, talks tall as a matter of standard operating procedure.

Jason was talking tall to Amber this afternoon, but she saw through his total bullshit. OR This afternoon, Senator Whatsit was talking tall in the Capitol in a way clearly at variance with the available facts.

Snatchwhipped

This is a significantly more pointed and ugly form of pussywhipping. A man who is snatchwhipped is not only being led around by the nose by a woman; he is being ordered about by a woman who is singularly and spectacularly unattractive on every level.

"Kyle is so snatchwhipped by that ugly wife of his, and if she were any less attractive, she would be trademarked."
