liar liar
Accusatory childhood chant
Liar liar is a children's taunt, almost always followed by pants on fire—the full rhyme being "liar liar, pants on fire, hanging from a telephone wire." Used to call out someone caught in a lie, it's playful rather than serious: Liar liar! You said you didn't eat the cookies!
