Lies Your Parents Told You
I 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.

my brothers are twins. not identical, but twins.
anyway, about a month after they were born, my mum read a book that said many twins can feel depressed by not being 'older' than the other, so when they were old enough to ask (i think they were about 4) she told them one was a whole year older, and that they were not twins.
obviously by the time they went to school they figured out she was lying, but for a good two years i'm sure my brothers had permanent psychological scarring.
