Psychology has a term for that: projection.

You’re right. In practice it’s somewhat more casual, akin to “No way!”.

“I bought this bag of chips with half the price!” “うそ！”

Although うそ literally means “it’s a lie”, it should have been translated to “Really?”

The memory was a bit off, but at least it’s still loving.

It’s quite plausible though, considering they just returned from the class trip to Las Vegas.
