dc.description.abstractFor the last 150 years, since 1876, Armenian untrue, fake, unreal, and false folk tales have been published in books with compilations of humorous folktales, anecdotes, fairy tales, and proverbs. After collecting a large number of such fake tales, the author singles them out and renames them as cock-and-bull stories/tales, due to their differentiating features. These features differ in the types of subject matter, structure, messages and characters of humorous folktales, fairytales, proverbs or anecdotes. This is the first time such a group has being discerned and studies. Within Western and Eastern Armenian ethnographic circles people have called such fake story tellers pechan, blowers, fakers, sea-shooters, air-fighters, wind hammers/beaters, boastful blowers, and such tales fake tales, fake fairytales. Unlike the liars, about whom people have created several negative and critical proverbs and sayings, these faketellers/narrators are not dangerous people for their surroundings. The teller is a boastful person, and he narrates his fake stories in such a lively, juicy way that both the audience and the teller enjoy it. The author observes that unlike some other folkloric genres which are gradually disappearing and becoming less popular, these cock-and-bull stories, like humorous anecdotes and tales, continue to survive and reshape themselves and acquire new material according to modern lifestyles and value systems.
