Told a whopper (4)
I believe the answer is:
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">told a whopper</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for lied that I've seen before include "conveyed a false impression" , "Romantic song told a story" , "German art song" , "Told untruths; song" , "Did not speak the truth" .)
