Used to express when many people believe something that is not true. Used also to express something as untrue. See also the expression "the Emperor has no clothes".
Based on Sufi wisdom, Hans Christian Andersen tells the tale in his "The Emperor's New Clothes", the story this expression derives from. In it. there existed an emperor who loved wearing fine clothes and spent all of his people's money on them. He had a different set for each hour and was, without doubt, the finest dressed man in the land.
One day, two swindlers claiming to be weavers entered the Emporer's city and proclaimed they were capable of making the finest, lightest, most magnificent cloth the world has ever seen. So extraordinary was this cloth, it was invisible to anyone who was incompetent or stupid.
Hearing of the weaver's amazing "talent", the foolish Emporer thought he could use such cloth to weed out undesirables in his city. He paid the swindlers an enormous sum & they set out to "create" the clothes; knowing they would only need go through the motions.
The Emperor sent several advisors to guage their progress and all the advisors reported the cloth magnificent, not wanting to appear unworthy for seeing nothing at all; the cloth didn't exist!
Finally the clothes were "finished", the swindlers already having counted the gold and jewels they had received. A procession was arranged to show off the Emporer's new clothes and the entire city gathered in the center to view them. Having been "dressed" by the swinglers, who remarked how wonderful he looked, and how light the cloth appeared on him, he appeared before his people.
The people, having heard of the weaver's abilities and the cloth's fictious properties, were amazed and offered thunderous applause to the now beaming Emperor. None of them were willing to admit that they hadn't seen a thing; for if anyone did, then he was either stupid or unfit for the job he held. Never before had the emperor's clothes been such a success.
While expressing admiration at their Emporer's new "invisible" clothes, a small boy cried out... "But the Emperor has no clothes!"
"This entire adventure in Iraq has been based on propaganda and manipulation. Eighty-seven billion dollars is too much to pay for the continuation of a war based on falsehoods. The Emperor has no clothes."

An expansive massive of pubic hair that opaquely covers the genitals, descending from just under the naval, all the way down, then ascending towards the anus, where it may or may not end. Some loin cloths have been known to continue to just above the sacrum.
"If her sacrum was the horizon, then her loin cloth was the ocean."
"My girl digs the hairy back--but she hates the loin cloth."

Disgusting brand of clothing with horrific multi coloured patterns on their shirts and jumpers. Fashionable with facebook hipsters.
Friend: "I love hype clothing!"
Me: "I didn't know you were a hipster."

A song from Set it Off
Ex1: "Oi dude, have you heard that song "Wolf in a sheep's clothing"?"
"Oh, that song.....! I absolute loved it!"
Ex2: (some lyrics)
"Beware, beware, be skeptical
Of their smiles, their smiles of plated gold
Deceit so natural
But a wolf in sheep's clothing is more than a warning!"
