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.

Nig nog biscuits
Rob, your dad may not have been lying. I used to make Nig Nog biscuits when I was younger having found the recipe in one of my mum's old cook books. My little brother was very fond of them and told my auntie about them prior to us going to stay with her on holiday. This led to some embarassment when she was in the local supermarket in Preston stocking up for our arrival when she asked one of the shop assistants, "Do you have any Nig Nogs?" After the initial shock from the assistant, and some explanation I believe she apologised profusely for any offence caused.
