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.

my teacher lied, does that count?my fourth grade teacher told us that the atom was the smallest form of anything.
i was a dork in fourth grade (er, and still am), so i piped up, "what about protons and neutrons and electrons? they're smaller. and what about quarks? they're smaller still."
i got yelled at. no idea why, as i was quite correct.
this teacher also once tried to get us to do a project that involved imagining you had travelled through the center of the earth. she yelled at me when i objected and said you'd burn up long before you got there.
teachers shouldn't give out such heinous misinformation. i bear a grudge to this very day.
