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 was just starting PrimaryThere was a teddy bear that I really wanted. One day my mum went out and bought it for me, but she told me that the bear had flown over to our house on its own accord. Of course, I related this story to Teacher the following day, and much to her credit she didn't laugh.
A friend of mine was told when he was young that "Scotch on the Rocks" was served with real rocks. He believed it right up until he was 18 and asked a friend (who had ice in his drink at the time) whether he had ever tried it "on the rocks". An interesting conversation ensued.
Poor fucker.
