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.

Ultimate insensitivityWhen i was about 6 i was really interested in WW2 and asked my dad what my grandad had done in it. Answer duly supplied, we went to visit the whole family in Poland a couple of days later...
"Grandad? What was it like being in the SS???"
Both my grandparents having spent the war in Dachau, you can probably imagine the reaction. Thing is, to this day my dad refuses to come clean, and I'm still feeling guilty 14 years later! Bastard!
