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.

Double the funMy mum always said to my sister that if you touched a butterfly's wing and the dust came off that it wouldn't be able to fly. She believed it right up until she was at work and told the office to much piss-taking.
Also, my dad had us all believing that his middle name was Goliath (his post always used to come with a G in the middle). It was actually Govier, his mother's maiden name. I preferred Goliath actually. Quite cool...
