Quote the Stoat

To tell a fib or to make something up.

To paraphrase so outrageously that all likeness to the original comment is lost.

To invent statistics from thin air.

Don't quote the stoat with me. - Said to someone you believe to be telling a lie.

I might be Quoting the stoat here, but 87.3% of all statistics are made up on the spot. - Said when you are inventing statistics from thin air.
