no lie

I'm being honest

No lie is an emphatic assertion that what you're saying is true, often following a surprising or hard-to-believe statement: That roller coaster was terrifying, no lie.

It functions like "I'm serious" or "I swear," preemptively addressing skepticism.

Sometimes used to validate another person's claim: No lie, that actually happened.
