Orijin fraz sa a pa trè klè. Pwobableman fraz sa a gen rasin germanik, depi mo "bar" nan jèrmen vle di "lous" oswa "chaj". Men, sa pa eksplike poukisa pawòl sa a gen anyen fè ak yon manti oswa yon fib. Jistis la konsidere kòm yon kantite anekdot yo eksplike fraz sa a. Youn nan yo di ke yon lous se tankou yon chay lou ke ou pa ka brode li sou dèyè nenpòt moun. Si ou vle untang yon moun ki pa t ', ak rekonèt manti a, li te di: "Ou vle lage m' yon lous."

The origin of this phrase is not very clear. Probably this phrase has Germanic roots, since the word "bar" in Germanic means "bear" or "load". But that does not explain why this word has anything to do with a lie or a fib. The vernacular has considered a number of anecdotes to explain this phrase. One of them says that a bear is such a heavy burden that you can not strap it on anyone's back. If you want to untang someone who was not, and recognize the lie, he says: "You want to untie me a bear."
