뜻
To confuse or lie to someone.
문화적 배경
This is perhaps the most common idiom used in Lithuanian political talk shows. It reflects a deep-seated public demand for concrete answers over 'empty' rhetoric. In villages, 'migla' is a real daily occurrence. The transition from a physical obstacle to a social one is very natural for people living close to nature. Lithuanian journalists use this phrase in headlines to grab attention, signaling that an investigation will 'clear the fog' (išsklaidyti miglą). While older generations use 'pūsti miglą', younger Lithuanians might prefer 'nekabink makaronų', but they still perfectly understand and use the 'migla' version in more serious arguments.
Use with 'Nustok'
The most natural way to use this is as a command: 'Nustok pūsti miglą į akis!' (Stop blowing fog into the eyes!)
Don't use with 'rūkas'
Even though 'rūkas' is a common word for fog, it never replaces 'migla' in this idiom.
