    What it means

    Literally “to lie like a dog.” Means to lie shamelessly and constantly — “to lie through one’s teeth,” “to lie like a rug.”

    Vocabulary

    • łgać — to lie, to fib (slightly archaic/emphatic form of kłamać)
    • pies — dog

    Grammar note

    'Jak pies' — nominative after 'jak' in a comparison. 'Łgać' is a more emphatic, slightly archaic synonym of 'kłamać'.
