You are telling me a fairy tale. This sentence has Euphemism as the figure of speech.
Explanation:
Euphemism- This figure of speech is used to state a word indirectly or with censorship. It makes the sentence look more presentable and formal.
Examples:
- He passed away. (passed away means died)
- Jane was put down. (put down means euthanized)
Similarly, in the question: You are telling me a fairy tale, here 'fairy tale' means lying or giving false statements.
Fairy tale is used to make the statement less offensive.
Hence, in You are telling me a fairy tale, the figure of speech is Euphemism.
