If you hear something that you don't believe or find doubtful. You would call it a "fishy story"nancycumt wrote:what's "fish stoty"?Can you help me? thank you .
The derivation is from Anglers who are renowned for telling lies about the size of fish they caught but are unable to show you because (a) it escaped (b) they returned it to the water.
Example: If I told you that I had met the President of the USA you would regard that as a "fishy story".
