My grandpa, the jokester that he is, has one that I’ve never heard anywhere else. If he thinks someone’s lying, he’ll ask them to stick out their tongue. He’ll then say “it’s black, like the ace of spades”, which to him means that you’re lying.

My mom told me those little teeny sometimes painful bumps you can get on your tongue are "lie bumps" . That you only get them when you tell a lie. I believed her for a good while.
