ZBomber Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 GAH! It's the word that talks about how a fisherman lies about the size of his fish. I keep thinking tall tale, but I thought it had to do something with fish. Any help would be apprciated..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Cock-and-bull story, exaggeration, fable, fish story, flight of fancy, tall story, yarn, fairy tale, sea story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZBomber Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 I guess it's fish story, but it doesn't ring a bell. And yeh, I tried dictionary.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Jedi Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Sound like a 'fishing story' to me. Anyways, I use the terms 'big fish story' 'fish story' 'fish tale' 'fishing story' 'flat out lie'. Another one is 'fish jive' I think. Take your pick. There's plenty more if you go to dictionary.com and choose the thesaurus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IG-64 Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Strange, I was just trying to find a word as well. It's a word I always forget, I don't know why. It's where you can't get something so you have to get something else that's not as good. It's not compensate it's.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IG-64 Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Bah, it's driving me nuts now. Say you're working on something, and you can't quite get what you want due to restrictions. So instead you make ******s. It's not alterations, and I can't figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZBomber Posted January 7, 2005 Author Share Posted January 7, 2005 I ended up using fish story. Still doesn't sound right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Jedi Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Improvise eh? Well, I was pretty close with compromise then. I can't believe I couldn't remember that; it's a great word! And ZBomber, that's too bad. Maybe it'll come to ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
