blowing smoke
baseless flattery
outright lies
‘It’s my favorite!’
‘Have you lost weight?’
baloney
-
‘It will be different this time’
bunkum
‘You can trust me’
burn me once
‘You know I love you’
butter wouldn’t melt in your mouth
hogwash
-
empty promises
‘No one does it better’
malarkey
wait until next year
‘I didn’t mean it the way you took it’
well bless your heart, honey
poppycock
-
two-faced
lying
opportunistic
inauthentic
gibbering rubbish

Smell it once and you can smell it again a mile away.
News Flash: I'm not attracted to that smell anymore.
