문화적 배경
In Spain, you might hear 'No me vengas con milongas'. The word 'milonga' refers to a type of music/dance, but idiomatically it means a long, boring, or false story. Mexicans often use 'No me vengas con cuentos'. 'Cuentos' (stories) implies that the person is making up a fairy tale or a fiction. In Argentina, the phrase is common but might be followed by 'che'. They also use 'No me vengas con versos'. 'Verso' is slang for a lie or a 'line' used to seduce or trick someone. In Colombia, you might hear 'No me vengas con vainas'. 'Vaina' is a universal word for 'thing', but here it implies annoying or false things.
Use the 'Hand' Gesture
In Spain and Italy, this phrase is often accompanied by a hand gesture where you move your hand away from your body as if pushing the words away.
Watch your tone
If said with a smile, it's playful. If said with a flat face, it's a serious accusation of lying.
