New England used to call this a "gollywhopper" from a story about a giant bird called a gollywhopper

parts of the south this was known as "callin' the dog"

England it's "cut from whole cloth" or "drawing the long bow"

high-brow types call it "Munchhausen Syndrome"

anybody remember Commander McBragg?

good fun

You forgot - lawyer, attorney, politician, doctor (this won't hurt a bit), dentist (see doctor), car salesman, loan officer, actor.

Give me a minute - I'm sure I can come up with more.
