The actual word for lie is "uso" not "usou". The kanji is "嘘" and the hiragana for it is "うそ". When used in an exclamation, it may sound as if the second syllable is longer and emphasized. Post CommentReport Abuse

"No way!", "Really?". "Usou" is actually the word for "a lie" but in informal speech is equilvalent to the American English "No way!" or "Really?" Usually used to indicate disbelief, e.g.: "No way!, that can't possibly be true!", sometimes used as a question, e.g.: "Really? Is that really true?" Since this is actually the word for lie, the word's usage is considered rude by many, particularly older people. Post CommentReport Abuse
