뜻
Tricking someone with a false story.
문화적 배경
The Dutch value 'nuchterheid' (being down-to-earth). Being 'op de mouw gespeld' is seen as a failure of this trait, so people are quick to use this phrase to show they are alert. In Flanders, the phrase is also well-known, but they might more frequently use 'iemand iets wijsmaken' or 'iemand blaasjes wijsmaken' (making someone believe little bubbles/lies). The concept of pinning badges to sleeves was common across Europe, but the specific idiomatic evolution into 'lying' is particularly strong in Germanic languages. With the rise of internet scams, this idiom has seen a resurgence in Dutch consumer protection articles and tech blogs warning users about 'phishing' and 'fake news'.
Use 'Laten'
The most natural way to use this is 'Ik laat me niets op de mouw spelden'. It sounds very native and confident.
Don't say 'Spelen'
If you say 'op de mouw spelen', people will think you are playing games on your arm. Always use the 'd'!

The 'Wat' variation
In casual speech, 'iets' is often replaced by 'wat'. 'Hij speldde me wat op de mouw' sounds more relaxed.
