意思
To feed someone false information.
文化背景
The idiom is so popular that it has inspired physical art. In the city of Obninsk, there is a small monument featuring a bronze ear with noodles hanging from it. During the Soviet period, this phrase was a common way for citizens to privately mock the discrepancy between state media reports and the reality of empty store shelves. Russian 'fact-checking' websites or satirical news shows often use noodle imagery in their logos to signify they are 'removing the noodles' from the public's ears. While Russians can be very direct, using this phrase in a first-time business meeting would be seen as a major 'aggressiya' (aggression). It implies the other person is a low-level scammer.
Use the Short Version
In very casual speech, you can just say 'Ну, это лапша!' (Well, that's noodles!) to dismiss a story.
Don't use with Bosses
Even if your boss is lying, this phrase is too disrespectful for the workplace hierarchy.

Technically people will understand, but it's not the idiom. It would sound like a deliberate joke or a non-native mistake.
The perfective is 'повесить лапшу на уши'. Use it for a single, completed act of lying.
Absolutely. It's a timeless classic in Russian slang, though younger generations might also use 'кринж' or 'скам' in similar contexts.

Usually, it's for more significant or 'creative' lies. For a tiny mistake, it might be too strong.
You can say 'Я тебе лапшу не вешаю, это правда!'
