I’ll take a crack at it. Lying is when I say something and hope that you’ll believe what I’m saying, while bullshit is saying something hoping you’ll believe something else, either indirectly or transitively. If I wanted to you to think I went to Stanford, I could say I went to Stanford, which is a lie, or talk about how much I enjoyed my time studying in the Palo Alto area, which is bullshitting.
