Someone who is 'full of shit,' is someone who is completely lying. Since 'shit' is a bad word, obviously this should only be said around people with whom you have a close relationship.
Example:
-I can't believe she actually said that! She's so full of shit!
-Totally!
I love analyzing my native language, American English, and helping non-native speakers make sense of it. I've been doing this for fun with friends who speak English as a second language for nearly 30 years. I would like to first thank A.D., C.F. and E.A., and now P.G., for inspiring me to finally write this stuff down!

Lying through your teeth
'Lying through your teeth' means you are completely and totally lying, probably in someone's face. It's stronger than just saying that someone is 'lying.'
Example:
-I stayed home last night, honest.
-You're lying through your teeth! I saw you at the bar last night!

-I stayed home last night, honest.
-You're lying through your teeth! I saw you at the bar last night!
