意思
Telling someone to stop exaggerating or lying.
文化背景
The phrase is deeply tied to 'Troll Culture.' Kerala has thousands of 'Troll' pages where 'Thallu' is the primary weapon against politicians and celebrities. Many actors have been labeled 'Thallu-karan' by fans of rival stars. It's a key part of 'Fan Fights' in the state. Malayalis working in the Middle East are sometimes jokingly accused of 'Thallal' when they return home and talk about their luxurious lives. In colleges, 'Thallu' is a form of social currency. Being able to 'thallu' convincingly is a skill, but being caught is a source of comedy.
Tone Matters
Say it with a smile to keep it friendly. A serious face makes it a confrontation.
Avoid with Elders
Never use this with people older than you unless you are extremely close.
