What's the Word?
The word is Taradiddle.
It's a strange word. It kind of gives itself away. I think it's also a fun word!
I looked up the meaning and found:
Taradiddle.
This word references someone or something that is filled with pretentious nonsense or something that is a lie.
A great example of this is that classic fisherman's tale of how big the fish he caught was.
Usually the fisherman is lying or at least exaggerating about the fish, especially if he (or she) didn't keep the fish.

So, the next time you hear an exaggarated story, tell them they're telling a taraddidle!
(keep in mind this is a great word for scrabble!)
