turbo-lie

verb. To super-mega-hella-deep-dish-lie. With a side dish of prevarication.

Real citation: "So he smiles, giving the deal away completely, then instantly switches gears and just turbo-lies right into the camera. I thought: this is just like politics! A terrible, totally unskilled liar, telling a completely transparent lie, who then improbably gets let off the hook by the sycophantic moron interviewing him. What is it about this story we love so much?"

Made-up citation: "I'm not good at turbo-lies... I need to be honest. Except about your mom. Swear to God, I can't even picture her in a brothel!"
