Read the following dialogue to see the idioms in context:
| Len: | Wow, that is a stunner. When do you get this little Beetle? |
| Syd: | I’ve had it for about a few months now. |
| Len: | You don’t seem too excited. |
| Syd: | I went online to review the dealership where I got it from. Looks like they sold me a lemon. Not uncommon, apparently |
| Len: | I am sorry. I should have told you that they tried to lead me up the garden path too. I checked with my brother-in-law who is a mechanic, he told me these people have a reputation of being dishonest. |
| Syd: | Really? They told me this thing only had 65,000 km on it and had never been in an accident. I have had so many issues since I got it. They were bending the truth about that… |
| Len: | Syd, you’re such an honest guy that you take everyone at face value. Don’t get so down on yourself, you hear? |
| Syd: | I guess so. It’s just sad to see that they could lie through their teeth. Well, I am going to post my review. Just to warn others… |
| Len: | Not a bad idea. |
