Okay maybe lies too strong a word to use for all cases. So you can either use it for people who claimed the major city in their area as their hometown or people who really did just outright LIE about where they’re from.
Anyways this thread was inspired by the revelation that CM Punk is not actually from Chicago. He’s from Lockport, Illinois. Again, it’s one of those cases that is a little more forgivable since who the hell has ever heard of Lockport outside of people from the area?

I'm from a town of 400 people in the middle of nowhere, and most people haven't heard of it. So if I'm talking to anyone from outside the Western Manitoba area I just say I'm from Brandon, a city about 30 min away but second biggest city in the province.

Yea where I grew up isn't even a town. So I told people the city I was born in. Now thanks to the shitheads in 3 doors down the town I grew up outside of is semi known. So instead of saying Yea I am from Forts Lake MS I just tell people Moss Point.
Also pretty sure the now retired local vet with the THICK delta accent isn't really from Seattle Washington. And I know for a fact the monster that is going all over the MS indies isn't from Black Water Mississippi.

A lot of people from small towns in the metro area of a big city just tell people they're from the big city for simplicity's sake. I do it myself. It's not that big a deal.

Then maybe their fans wouldn't have abandoned JCP after Starrcade 87.

I grew up on an acreage. Went to school to two different hamlets. I just say I'm from the nearest city, where I live now. Unless you're from Western Canada, it's unlikely you have heard of any of them, so it don't matter.

Yep like how anyone living within an hour of Jackson MS,just tells anyone from outside the state they live in Jackson. Cause who the hell outside of this area knows Richaland,Richton,Pearl,Brandon,Madison(where the Dibiases live) and Forest?

I usually just say I'm from Nottingham because it's the nearest big city. Nobody has heard of my hometown.

There are a lot of little towns and villages all over the two counties that make it up... so people usually say Long Island instead of specifically what town their from...
hell sometimes we just say "New York" for the same reason as it's the suburb of NYC.

Michelle Marsh did this. Former page 3 model Michelle is from my home town of Oldham, she went on the TV and told the nation she was from North Manchester.....big mistake!, she pretty much got booo'ed out of the local pub next time she came in and the 13 year old lads weren't getting many selfies with her that night.

I live between London & Brighton but have never felt the need to lie about where I’m from even if people haven’t heard of Horley or Crawley even if it would be easier.

People from Parts Unknown. Like... HOW?! How about John Tenta (as the Shark) claiming that he hails from 20,000 leagues beneath the sea. How about Damien Demento claiming that he hails from The Outer Reaches of Your Mind?
