pack of lies

Nothing but untruths

A pack of lies is a collection of falsehoods, typically presented together as a coherent story or explanation.

The phrase emphasizes that multiple lies have been bundled to deceive: His alibi turned out to be a pack of lies.

Pack suggests something assembled for a purpose, like a deck of cards stacked against the listener.
