Slang is an informal language, so with friends you can put those words, but for me the previous is the best

Some other ways to say "to lie" are:
fib - this is a very soft way to say lie. It is often used with children.
"My friend fibbed to the teacher so he won't be humiliated."
Prevaricator - This is a very formal term.
"That group in WhatsApp is full of prevaricators.
Stretch the truth/bend the truth - this is also a softer way of saying "lie". It means that there is a little bit of truth in what you are saying, but you twist it in ways to make yourself look better.
"I rarely stretch the truth."
