Telling a porky means to tell a lie, to not tell the truth. Often this is used with kids, and when they lie about things it is said they have told a porky. Comes from the Australian rhyming phrase pork pie = lie.
Example: Our son, little tiger, said earlier on today that he was at the park and there was dinosaurs there. I'm pretty sure he was telling a porky.
