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.

When I were a lad.... we had a lot of work done on the house and a new fireplace fitted. I wanted to help the builders unwrap it but as I moved towards it my Dad shouted "Careful, it's hot!". Naturaly I shot backwards across the lounge as my dad and his mates pissed themselves!
A few weeks later we had the kitchen done and a new oven was delivered. Despite the fact that two men had just carried it inside from a lorry, when I moved towards it the old fella shouted "Careful, it's hot!". Once again I darted away. Idiot.
