It’s a little nod to Wayne’s World, but instead of ‘party time, excellent’ (if you are aware of the cult nineties classic) I will be diving into one WORD each day. It could be something I learned, something bizarre that happened, a favourite word that I have rediscovered or just a thought that won’t leave me alone.

If you’re joining in on today’s word, feel free to use this tag to connect your post to the series: #WaynesWord

Today’s word is FIBBER.

Meaning:

Someone who tells a fib – a small lie, usually harmless or playful. A fibber isn’t necessarily deceitful or malicious, just someone who is bending the truth a little.

Examples you could hear in Northern Ireland:

“You’re such a fibber!”

“Don’t be listening to him, he’s a total wee fibber.”

In Northern Ireland, fibber is more commonly heard than in many other parts of the UK. It is used affectionately among friends, family, and especially with kids –

“Are you tellin’ me porkies? You wee fibber!”
