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 an ickle boy learning to read,I was standing by my mum and big sister in a pharmacy. I was dead good at sounding out new words and so I tried one of the packets. "Luh-Ih-Leh-Tuh-Suh, Lil-lets. What are they for?" They told me that you stuffed them up your nose if you had a bad nose bleed. Oh, how classroom assistants cried with mirth at school when I told them the kid with the nose bleed needed a lil-let for his nostrils. Bastards.
