FYI it's "bald-faced" lie
Hey, don't attack the man based on his follicles!
I'm just envious that he doesn't have to shave. It's really tedious.
This is totally correct, but the incorrect usage is so common now that "bold face" has become arguably accepted.
Originally it was "barefaced", I believe.
True a long time ago it was, but if we want to disregard language evolution, then it is actually "bare-faced lie" lol
