not true
Lacking in accuracy
False, incorrect, or contrary to fact.
The phrase works as a straightforward denial or correction: That's not true—I never said that.
It can challenge assertions gently or firmly depending on tone.
Not true also appears as a standalone interjection, often emphatic: Not true! I was home all night.
