Lies Your Parents Told YouI once overheard a neighbour use the phrase "nig nog". I asked my father what it meant. As quick as a flash he said, "It's a type of biscuit. A bit like a hobnob." Can you beat this? BTW: We're keeping this thread open for an extra week as we're enjoying the stories so much.

Great Yarmouth Power Station...before it was demolished, had an impressive chimney a good hundred metres tall. Knowing that my aunt worked there, I asked my father what she did:
"She cleans the chimney".
I believed this until I was about 8, at which point he admitted it was a downright lie and she was actually a secretary.
