What's it called? How would you call them out?

What is the proper term/label for someone who claims they did something when everyone knows that they didn't? I ask this because this one person claims that she made attempts to get our group together for final presentation preparation, when our group (and her) knows that she did no such thing. Would that be a "Ms. me too?"
Also, what would be an appropriate way to "call them out" on what they claim to have done? I'm fed up with this person. While my other group members have sent me information, this girl has sent NOTHING, yet she claims that she has done the most work. What would be the correct word and how can I call her out without hurting her feelings (if that's even possible)?

I see, that sucks. I really am fed up with the girl because like I said, she has done nothing to contribute. I don't think it's copycat because that would require her to actually do something. What about Ms Me Too? That could possibly fit. If you think of anything, please comment on this thread -

Hehe, shout out to Dayton! -

That's likely it, but you know of a way that I can call her that w/o getting in trouble? She'll snitch to the dean if I call her a ? liar... -
lol you dont have to call her a name, just tell her straight up she hasnt done anything for the presentation, and then let the teacher know. and make sure the other people will back you up. or just tell her that if she doesnt do anything, you will let the teacher know, and maybe she'll step it up.

A Mr/Ms Me Too does not make sense in this case. Its obvious they're telling lies, but I dont think theres any other "name" or term than a person like that. Other than liar, of course -

Good idea, I don't think it'll work though since the other people in my group (both girls) are tight with the lazy girl. Snitching is moot because she told me that she taking 20 credits (BS i think) and she working full time. -

Liar is probably the term, thanks Rose -
kidnap her and put her n tha trunk till she smells of skunks

Ask her to do the presentation since she's so 'involved' in it. And then smugly watch her stumble through it because she hasn't actually done any work towards it. It will be obvious to everyone.

^ Yes, that is better than verbally calling her out. While I'm for that, too bad my peers won't give a ? if she ? it up or not... -
Pull her to the side and say "I'll choke the ? out of you if you pull this again."

A fabricator, or a deceiver.

if everyone in the group is okay with it....
just let your professor know you kicked her out for lack of participation
no need to say anything to her -

In the Bay, we call somebody like that a "Cat" and when they say they was gon' do something and don't, we say they're "cattin'" or "cattin' off"

a bullshitter.........
Ive been on both ends of this...........sometimes you gotta play it by the person..........If they seem like they gonna be accountable, you gotta approach them in a non confrontational and adult like manner (prefereably dolo), and more times than not, you will get what you asked for......IF they gonna be confrontational, depending on the vaule of what they bullshitting about, you just gotta go through with calling them out....or u just elevate to a point you move on with out it whatever it is they bullshitting bout.....cause sometimes that person, all they have is is mouth and then the situation gets deeper than what its supposed to be.....the goal and focus is thrown off..... -
Bullshitter of the highest order. Drop her like a bad habit.
