  What it means

  Literally “a tall tale on springs.” Means a complete fabrication, a far-fetched lie — a whopper. The “springs” suggest the story bounces and stretches beyond all credibility.

  Vocabulary

  • bujda — tall tale / lie / nonsense
  • resor — spring (mechanical)

  Grammar note

  'Na resorach' uses the locative plural of 'resor' after 'na.'

  Cultural context

  A very colloquial, humorous expression. 'Bujda' alone already means a lie; the 'na resorach' intensifies it with comic imagery.
