What Does This Mean?
Familiar French word for a liar or someone who makes up or exaggerates stories, used as a noun (« un mytho ») and as an invariable adjective. It is also used as a verb meaning to lie, as in « arrête de mytho » (stop lying), and by extension can mean a made-up story.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"Arrête de mytho, tout le monde sait que tu n'étais pas à ce concert."
LORE & ORIGIN
Dictionaries describe « mytho » as a clipped form (apocope) of « mythomane » (mythomaniac), with the verb forms « mythoner » and « mythonner » attested. It is informal and is usually meant loosely, as a tease or accusation of exaggeration rather than a clinical diagnosis. No source consulted documents a dated first use or a specific online community where it started.
