bill of goods

Lies. Often used in the phrase "sell (one) a bill of goods." So you told me you would study harder, and then your grades got even worse. Looks like you sold me a bill of goods! Mike told me that he would stay away from Liz, since he knew I liked her, and yet, there he is, flirting with her! I was sold a bill of goods! Boy, Mom sure was sold a bill of goods when she signed this landscaping contract. Instead of coming biweekly, the guy's only cut her lawn once in the last six months!
