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.

Hair colourMy mum used to tell me that my hair wasn't brown, it was dish-water blonde.
Took me many, many years to twig what what she was on about.
Also, if I found a gift with my name on it, Mum and Dad would say it was for Steven Barnacle. However, I now use this to explain to my missus how the appaling mess in the kitchen got there...bloody Steven Barnacle.
