Russian term or phrase: Что ты говоришь неправду?
Здравствуйте. В оригинале использовано другое слово, но оно очень грубое, поэтому я не стал выносить в вопрос. Тем не менее перевод нужен такого же уровня грубости :). Вот это место в ролике https://youtu.be/pINBn62HLjY?t=1m27s. Помогите, пожалуйста, перевести правильно.

Why are you telling porkies?


Explanation:
Popular slang expression in UK (but not US) English at the moment. Comes from Cockney rhyming slang: porkies = pork pies = lies.
