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.

continuing the "(x) is poisonous" theme...My mum told me that the middle of a Ferrero Rocher was poisonous if you ate it too quickly. Every Christmas there'd be a token box from an unofficial auntie, and I'd be there spending 3/4 of an hour slowly licking mine into a gooey mush while fearing for the lives of my brothers and sisters, who between them were polishing off the remainder of the box without a care.
