yarners
Those who embellish
Yarners are people who tell yarns—long, often rambling stories, especially tall tales or adventure narratives.
The word carries a folksy quality, suggesting storytellers who spin entertaining but possibly exaggerated accounts: The old yarners gathered around the fire to swap fishing stories.
