This is a question Lies Your Parents Told You

I 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.

Cats
I can't recall reading this one on the thread so far, and I can't believe I was the only one who fell for it as a youngun, so I hope I'm not spoiling anyones illusions:

We moved house when I was around 10, to South Africa in fact, but we had 3 cats that we couldn't take with us due to the quarrantine, etc. My parents told me and my brother that they took the cats to a local farmer, and that the cats were happy working on the farm catching rats and rabbits every day.

They lied.
