Concoction: to invent a story, cook up. Example, she concocted some elaborate story to explain her innocence.
Exaggerate: to make something seem larger or more important than it is really is.
Lies: to say something that is not true.
Now, let us combine those three words as I did above, "...concoctions of exaggerated lies". What do I mean?
It simply means that a combination of something that seems less important and untrue. I hope that helps.
I feel sorry if you have language deficiency. If you need further explanation, refer to your sources or simply google those words, if that is the only thing you can do.
Hope, I get the feeling you're trying to be "deep" by jumbling a bunch of fancy words together. When I become a TA, I'm going to pray I never have to mark your papers. No offense...
i don't think we're having language deficiency problems as i'm sure most of us are aware what those three words mean.. we just don't/can't follow your sense of reasoning here.. or simply put.. how does bufli imply that i shout out lies? @.@
So....things she says in the shoutbox are "invented stories that are made up of things that are not true that were made to seem larger or more important than they really are..."
I STILL don't know what this is supposed to mean....

nono i think the correct interpretation is, "things hope says are invented stories that are made up of things that are not true that were made to seem larger or more important than they really are..." now that makes sense :p
How do you exaggerate a lie though? A lie is a lie. If I said I climbed 2 mountains in my life, or if I said I climbed 200 mountains in my life, they're both still lies. One isn't more of a lie just because I inflated the number....it makes no fucking sense!!!!
Ok, the question that remains now is how can lie be exaggerated?
Let us take an example, when the Bush administration was looking for ungrounded evidence to attack Iraq, what did they do?
Everybody knew that the Iraqi government didn't have weapons of mass destruction (WMD), however, the Bush administration were unlikely to give up and insisted on attacking Iraq and wanted to topple Saddam on what they called "regime change".
What were the evidences that Iraq had WMD? Since it was apparent that Iraqis didn't have those weapons, the state secretary at that time, Collin Powell, went to the UN to convince its members that Iraq had WMDs. The documents and satellite images that Collin showed to the members were falsified papers/images that had no resemblance to the geography of Iraq. (Source: aljazeera.net)
Coming back to my point, since it was a lie that there were no weapons in Iraq, they kept on exaggerating false evidences and went on with their plan. Isn't that plain example of exaggerated lie? It is like naming a prostitute an escort. It all converges into the same channel.
I remember once a man told me that, when the media wants to convince the public with cogent argument, what they do is that, they keep on repeating the same argument till everyone believes it (mostly false). And in North America, where the source of information is FOX and CNN, there are no other 'alternatives'.
They exaggerated claims, and thus created MORE lies. They didn't exaggerate ONE particular lie. A lie is still just a lie. Still no explanation of what an "exaggerated lie" would be.
