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.

Shark RadioWe had a box of matches in the kitchen, with the slogan "MAYNEWS is Good News!" written on it. Bored, I told my girlfriend (now wife), that I'd written that slogan and hadn't received a penny in royalties. I thought nothing more of it until a couple of years later, at a dinner party, when my wife brought up my skanking at the hands of the tightwads. Maynews.
