SPOT A PHONY

(Women's Health) If you are looking for pants on fire to smoke out a liar, it ain't gonna happen. But there can be ways to tell if someone is fibbing to your face. When spreading falsehoods, the body almost always rebels, leaking small physical signs:

Head
Your co-worker shakes his noggin almost imperceptibly while telling you he did not steal your idea and pass it off to the boss as his own. He so did.

Face
As people big, split seconds of truth often flash across their face before their brain can retake control. Think of Mom's fleeting grimace before she says she really, really likes your new apartment.

Hands
Near constant hand-gestures like pointing, fidgeting, or face scratching, in someone who is usually relaxed can be a sign she is not being honest.

Speech
Liars take longer to answer questions than truth tellers and they may pause mid-sentence, making stuff up takes time.
