Is the correct variation bold-face lie or bald-faced lie or something else?
Answer:
The correct term is bald-faced, and refers to a face without whiskers. Beards were common in the 18th and 19th centuries and were thought to mask facial expressions. Thus a bald-faced liar was a very good liar indeed, and was able to lie without the guilt showing on his face.
More Information:
The phrase can also be used as bold-faced lie, as in someone bold enough to lie to your face.
