I'd like to find an English expression, which is synonymous to, e.g., 'lie like a trooper', but with a that-clause in its structure i.e., he lies (so much) that + idiomatic expression. For example, in German, a corresponding expression with a dass-clause is 'lügen, dass sich die Balken biegen'
"Er lügt, dass sich die Balken biegen" ("Er lügt sehr")
