an interesting but highly implausible story; An unbelievable tale that is intended to deceive; a tall tale!. For example, Jack told us some cock and bull story about getting lost!.

Gilbert used it in The Yeomen of the Guard (1888), where Jack Point and Wilfred the Jailer make up a story about the hero's fictitious death: "Tell a tale of cock and bull, Of convincing detail full!."Www@QuestionHome@Com

A "cock and bull story" is a made up or fictional story!. It is a shortening of "concocted" and "bulled," which is Danish for "exaggerated!."Www@QuestionHome@Com
