>baldfaced lie Sorry to be that guy, but it's bold faced lie, as in print.

  No, it's not. "Bold" is the malapropism, not bald, which is the original term.

    Rats. I looked this up and apparently the original term was "Bare faced" and is pre-shakespear. I had always heard it had to do with print (e.g. a lie told in Bold Face print on the front page). I still think that's nicer than bald faced, even if my version is the wrong one. :)
