fibbers
Tellers of falsehoods
Fibbers is the plural of fibber—someone who tells fibs, or minor lies.
The word carries a light, almost affectionate tone, suggesting harmless untruths rather than serious deception: The kids are little fibbers when it comes to who ate the cookies.
It's the kind of word adults use with children or in playful accusation.
