意思
To falsely claim that someone said something they didn't.
文化背景
In Iranian social etiquette, directly accusing someone of lying is very harsh. Using this idiom is a slightly more 'indirect' way to say 'you are lying about me' without using the word 'dorough' (lie). In political talk shows in Iran, you will hear this phrase constantly. Politicians use it to dodge difficult questions or to claim the host is biased. Persian parents often use 'leading' statements to guide children. A child using this idiom back to a parent is seen as a sign of modern assertiveness, though it might be considered 'gostakh' (impudent) in traditional families. Classical Persian poetry emphasizes the power of the tongue. While this specific idiom is more modern/colloquial, the concept of 'Hagh-o-Baatel' (Truth and Falsehood) in speech is a central theme.
Use it defensively
This is your best shield against gossip. Don't be afraid to use it firmly.
Watch your tone
If you say it too loudly, it sounds like an accusation of lying. Use a calm tone for a 'correction' feel.

The 'Manzoor' Combo
Combine it with 'Manzooram in nabood' (That wasn't my meaning) for a more sophisticated defense.
