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.

Yellow potatoAs a young 'un I wouldn't eat pumpkin. Didn't bat an eyelid at "yellow potato" though - I couldn't get enough of the stuff.
I was 15 before I worked out "yellow potato" was the result of my mum boiling potato and pumpkin and mashing them together.
Mind you, my younger brother is twenty seven, and just last Christmas Mum convinced him that at 4.30 on Christmas Eve she found a butcher who was able to sell her that organic turkey he was insisting on.
We're a gullible lot I suppose.
