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.

...there used to be an advert on the telly around 1990 for sanitary towels that featured a fake chatshow. can't really remember what the dialogue was, but i asked my parents why women would need them and my dad told me that women wet themselves a lot.
my grandad convinced my mum when she was young that the scar on his shoulder was from when he got shot in the war. she didn't find out until she was about 18 that in fact the scar was from when he was a lad and fell on some railings. all the while, she had thought he was some kind of war hero.
