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.

'Jungle Bunny'......means a rabbit that lives in the jungle. (As told to my step-brother, aged 6, by my step-mum after he asked her what the phrase meant.)
(BTW, apologies from me for even mentioning this racist taunt.)
Also...
The angry farmer will get you if you go out the back gate. (As told to me, also aged 6, by my Dad. Our house actually backed onto a light industrial park.)
Wasps won't sting you if you stay still. (Again, my Dad. It would appear that saying this at some point is in the general Dad contract that all fathers sign.)
