What is a nice and polite way to say someone is full of shit?

Yes, this. It's a southern thing but I find myself channeling my grandmother who spent summers in rural VA. She would come out with this saying sometimes and it makes me smile now that I truly understand it's meaning.

Oh, aren't you sweet!?!

Well bless your heart.

Hhhm. Interesting.

I understand. I'll have to ponder that.

"I'm sorry, I'm not falling for the banana in the tailpipe."

"What you say doesn't really line up with what I understand."

"Bullshit."

Now, condescending pompous jerks who have no manners and who might want to come off as better/smarter than others could probably question the other person on the matter with such a level of specificity on the subject that the other person is backed into a corner and looks like an idiot.

Agree with the first part. Don't waste your time with ignorant people, OP. Rule number one. No faces/staring/"challenging" - faces/staring/"challenging" is for small children only. You are presumably more sophisticated than a small child. And never, ever (ever) stoop to the rude person's level. Ever.

Nope. Too passive aggressive and shows that you are angry, or worse.

Most of the PPs above are suggesting you be passive aggressive. To thebonebpp, don't teach your teen to be that way.

The best way to deal with someone who is or seems full of shit is to be honest without snark. If you can't do that because the person is your boss and you no know there'd be negative consequences, then you just ignore and move on.

Absolutely this. Even if the person is "not your boss" (PP) - could be pauper or prince - ignore and move on. Your time is worth more, isn't it, OP?

You're eyes are soooo brown!

So what was the bs line he gave? Please give more details, OP.

I don't think you understand what passive aggressive means; it certainly doesn't mean that you are "angry, or worse." Also, fyi that not everything has to be a fight. Sometimes in life it is much better to grey rock or go along to get along.

I don't think you understand the point. The point is that grey rock is fine, but trying to be slick is not. Don't show that you are angry. That better? You understand now? Probably not. If you want to be difficult, then .......your life will be difficult.

Yes playing dumb is just so much more "sophisticated". It's unfortunate that American adults these days can't handle a civil conversation about things. We all just hide in our little bubbles with people we agree with 100%.
