The title Liar's Club refers directly to a group of men, in which Mary Karr's father was a part of. They did not have a certain time or place they would meet. They would just happen to meet at the bar and they would drink, talk, play dominoes, and most importantly tell their stories. These stories would be lies because of the exaggerations that would be put in them. Women or children were not allowed in their gatherings, except for Mary Karr. She loved being with them and enjoyed all the stories they had to tell, being very interesting due to the extreme exaggerations. Mary Karr writes, "In fact, my father told me so many stories about his childhood that it seems in most ways more vivid to me than my own. His stories got told and retold before an audience of drinking men he played dominoes with on days off. They met at the American Legion or in the back room of Fisher's Bait Shop at times when their wives thought they were paying bills or down at the union hall. Somebody's pissed-off wife eventually christened them the Liars' Club, and it stuck." What was funny was that Mary Karr felt safe and amused in an environment full of lies. This was the place she wouldn't get abused and made fun of, this was her safe-zone. What's ironic is that the one thing that made these liars honest was that they never denied that they were lying and their stories weren't true!
