Originaltext - Englisch - having the wool pulled over your eyes

Hi lilian, couldn't we leave this one be translated (as an idiomatic expression, it isn't obvious translating it)

Yes, but I think we'd better ask our Russian experts to help us here.

@Girls,

"pull the wool over (someone's) eyes" means: to deceive; to hoodwink.

Is there a similar expression in Russian meaning that?

Oh yes, plenty of them

I'll translate it and set a poll so the requester will have all the variety of versions

Oops, I believe I was supposed to write them here as I see now that the translation is in stand by.

So, here is the meaning: морочить голову, вешать лапшу на уши, пускать пыль в глаза, втирать очки и т.д.

Sorry, I haven't been checking the stand-by page for a while

@Siberia :

If you feel like translating it and opening a poll, I'm releasing the text right now!
