How it's used
Carries a strong dismissive tone, implying that the speaker is not just wrong, but actively trying to deceive or confuse others with fabricated stories. It is often used to call out someone who is making up excuses or exaggerating to cover their tracks. Unlike simply saying 講大話, this phrase suggests the content is so absurd or nonsensical that it sounds like it comes from another world.
