Buried, obscured etc.

Hi,

The truth is buried in a bunch of lies.

Can we also use veiled here? The truth is veiled in a bunch of lies. Is veiled used as a verb such as buried?

Thanks.

anonymous Can we also use veiled here? Yes, except that "veiled" is of too high a register for the informal "bunch".

buried in a bunch of lies
veiled by a web of lies
hidden under a carpet of lies

There are probably quite a few ways to say it if you get creative.
