Someone telling tall tales (4)

I believe the answer is:

liar

(Other definitions for liar that I've seen before include "not straight [one]" , "One whose pants are on fire?" , "Person regularly 'economical with the truth'" , "Rail at a prevaricator" , "Story teller?" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
