Do you say bold-faced lie or bald-faced lie?

Posted by David (aka David) Feb 21 '23, 12:08

One is much more prevalent. This is more about which one you use since they're both technically correct.

Not an expression I use often, but saying both out loud bald-faced sounds right, bold-faced doesn't. - Cuzzin Todd Feb 21, 12:25 1
- I think the opposite. Why would a face be bald and why would it have relevance to a lie? I think bold because you are being bold to lie with your face - sycor Feb 21, 12:29

I think I'm more likely to say bald, but I'm not sure. I think I'm avoiding the expression altogether, really. -- nm - mara Feb 21, 12:13 2
- I would tend to use "blatant lie". -- nm - Spawn Feb 21, 12:21
- yeah, i don't actually say it, but in my head it is 'bald.' -- nm* - Andie Feb 21, 12:15
