Porky pies
Our new CEO is Scottish, and we're all having fun with his accent and uses of words. Today we were talking about some applications that clearly were embellished, and he said "In Scotland we call that 'porky pies.'" Of course, we all went back to our offices and looked it up.

So those of you in the UK, is it used often?

Quite often. Usually just as "porkies".

I think I am going to have to review those Cockney rhymes that we've posted about. Which ones do you use in every day talking?
