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.

Not my parents.......but my brother told me this one. For some reason when I was smaller, he told me that people have three sets of teeth. Fast forward a few years and I meet a wonderful woman who I fall for immediatly as does she. You know when you are really trying to impress? Best behaviour and all! Well, half way through a conversation.....this happens:
Me: I am playing in the game tonight.
Her: Really? Nice. Who are you playing against?
Me: A rough team. I'll be surprised if I walk out of this with all my teeth.......then again, it wouldn't be too long before my third set grows.
Her: HA HA HA......Your so funny!!
Me: What? Whats so funny?
Her: HA HA H*horrified look on her face as she realises I'm serious*ah.
Now, one or two points about this story.
1) I was 23 when this happened.
2) After 3 and a half years, she is still with me but whenever I am saying something that she thinks is wrong, she always says 'Oh yeah, did your brother tell you that one?' which means I haven't won a fight since I met her!!
I sometimes wonder what else I firmly believe in life which is utter bollox!
