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.

When I was in 6th grade science...
...we talked about gestation periods and figured out the approximate dates on which we and our siblings were concieved. Turns out, my younger brother was concieved on/around my first birthday... so me, being the little science geek at the time, I asked about this. I was told that on my first birthday, after I was put to bed, there was a giant orgy and my brother was concieved, and then subsequently informed that he was not my father's son, but my uncle's.
At least I pray it's all lies...
