fabrications
Untrue invented tales
Fabrications are things made up rather than true—lies, inventions, or falsehoods presented as fact.
The word carries more weight than simple lies, suggesting elaborate or deliberate construction: The entire story was a fabrication.
In manufacturing contexts, fabrications are items produced by shaping raw materials, especially metal parts welded or assembled into structures.
