Pronunciation: fibij

Sentence: It was common in the college town he grew up in for high schoolers to try to pass themselves off as college students. Wendell was never very successful at it.

Whatever the case, his fibbage would always be revealed. To make matters worse, girls would often not believe he was even in high school.
